Color Dare #173--Pear and Peacock

Welcome back to another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge where we invite you to use the specified Close to My Heart colors to create something that you like.  (Of course if you don't have these CTMH colors yet you may substitute similar colors so you can still join in on the fun!)  We are finishing off the 2015 challenge year with 2 fabulous greens:  Pear and Peacock.  



This challenge will be open for two weeks (ending December 31 at 9PM CST) so hopefully you will be able to join us in our gallery.  Now here's some inspiration from our hard working and talented Design Team members.







Now it's your turn. Take some time this week to create a project using these colors. If you don't have the exact colors, just use the closest ones you have. Next, take a picture of it and upload it to your blog. Make sure you include our link and challenge picture in your post. Then link your post to our site, using the link to your post, not your blog. See our sidebar for complete rules. Most importantly, have fun!
