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......

ReplyDeleteHi 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. ; )

ReplyDeleteI 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.
