Free To Be Me Paper with Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #165--Entry #2

Welcome to my blog! If you are looking for the Sunday Stamps Challenge post please go here.  If you are looking for the Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge post please go here.

Try Stampin' on Tuesdays has a great sketch this week with an option of Bugs or Blossoms.  In honor of National Scrapbooking Month Close To My Heart is offering an awesome paper pack for just $5 called Free To Be Me.  Check it out here.

I'm not sure why this happened but the orange color paper should be more of a dark pink than orange.   The pale orange colored flower should be pink.  I tried playing around with photo programs such as Picasa and Microsoft Picture It  but I couldn't get it to the actual color.
