Die Cuttin Diva's Colour Challenge

Hi Everybody! There is a new challenge over at the Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge blog...hop on over and play with us. You have to use...Brown, yellow, orange and 1 more...I chose this lovely dark red. I found this challenge hard...I lean toward using a lot of patterns...and this one is all solids...yikes...I'm not sure that I like it. I did use a few different colours of brown...is that cheating? Too bad...I had a hard time with this one :)
