Orange, Teal, & Brown (oh and orange again!)

I found some new challenge blogs that I wanted to try out. One is called Fusion Card Challenge and the other is AAA Cards. I like that Fusion provides a theme and a layout for your cards. You can choose to use the theme, the sketch, or both! The theme right now is "Orange, Teal, & Brown." AAA Cards promotes clean and simple designs. The current theme there is "Orange U Glad UR CAS."
