That Pool Party is the life of the party wherever it goes! It arrived last July and made a big splash looking cool in the summer designs.Then it showed up on fall cards looking gorgeous with rusty browns, yellows and oranges. Next it made a fabulous appearance for the holiday season in wintry scenes and Christmas greetings. It's a new year and look who's still around! Pool Party has gone vintage and is a featured color in two new sets of designer series paper, Attic Boutique and Everyday Enchantment (pictured above). I like a clean, crisp look and somehow that vintage Pool Party adapted beautifully. Pool Party is definitely the new black......

Gorgeous, Linda! I always enjoy reading your post just as much as looking at your card. I need to use Pool Party more ... you show it off beautifully!
Absolute stunning card!!!!!!!! Hope you are having fun at Leadership! You will have your dancing buddies with you once again... :)
That designer paper is WONDERFUL! The doily has the effect of looking like snowflakes too. I find this card to be breathtaking, Linda!
Hi Linda! Oh, this is SO pretty! Even though it has a vintage feel to it, your card is very fresh looking. I never thought about PP as the new black and I have to agree with you. ; )
Wow! Love your take on this challenge. I'm inspired to try this with a stamped image and the oval from the framelits. Now, what am I going to come up with for this challenge?

I think you've hit on something here--Pool Party being the new black!! I do love PP, it's almost as good as Cool Caribbean, and looks swell with almost everything. THIS CARD IS STUNNING....what a gorgeous image. I haven't inked this up with markers yet (no patience) but I almost might be convinced to try after seeing this! Stay warm!
LOL I absolutely adore you Linda. You always crack me up. I do love me some Pool Party, so I think you are right! Maybe I need to go make a Valentine's Day card with it! :) Love how you used the turkey platter on this one.
Linda this card IS cool and crisp! Love that Pool Party too, and it looks gorgeous as the background to the beautiful flowers. Hugs.

Now that you've explained it I can totally see how Pool Party is the new black! I haven't used it very much, but I hope to! And I can't stop looking at this card. The white just jumps right off the page!
