Bugaboo's Christmas in July - Day 3

For day 3 it's a color challenge. And THAT turned out to be a challenge for me! This is my third attempt, I do struggle with non traditional colors and Christmas. The biggest issue was to add something yellow, I kept wanting to add gold, I tried ribbon and what not, but digging through my boxes with embellishments I found this button shaped brads and on they went:)
The image is paper pieced and fussy cut. The sentiment is from Dylusion.
Another A2 card fit for postage!

This card is for these challenges:
1) Catch The Bug - Colors (Day 3)
2) Crafty Boots - Christmas in July
3) QKR Stampede – #96 Paper Piecing
4) My Time to Craft - #253 Paper Piecing

      This is a very tasty creation sweetie. I keep thinking like the sentiment but it doesn't work I always put on pounds at Christmas and going on holiday but alas I don't lose it again any more.
