Hot and Spicy - Less is More challenge #349

Challenge #349 at Less is More is a colour one - the theme is Hot and Spicy!  What fun!  I was thinking food of course, then Mexico, fiestas and the colours so predominant there - red, orange, green - hot and spicy colours.   So coming from that perspective, here is my card:


We can get pretty hot and steamy in Australia of course, but the spice really says Mexico to me.

    Super blending in that focal point Ann - it looks like the cactus are shimmering in that desert heat haze! The thin strips of colour on the base card really emphasize the hot shades and the use of the stars is perfect without compromising on any of that yummy white space. Gorgeous card. Thanks so much for joining us at Less is More xx
