Summer of Color Orange

 This week it is orange, for some reason mine doesn't look as orange, as it actually is. I know it happens. I have seen a lot of participants in the Summer of Color, say the same thing. This is a scrapbook page of my daughter; I call it from "Crayons to Perfume". There is a perfume label down in the right corner. On the left, is the actually top of a crayon box(96 variety). I made a butterfly out of a sheer curtain and attached it to the ruler.  I added more orange touches with ribbons, her fingerprints, crayons and markers.  I was thinking of all of the transition in the past couple of  years; she is fifteen now. She is transforming into herself, her true essence. It is a time of struggle, with a beautiful outcome, seeing my girl growing up~ I feel lucky to witness all the changes and be here to guide her, as the process continues.

Thanks Mandy; I will add the song!





Orange to me reflects attention, it draws the eye in. I guess this is why Detour signs are orange.  When I think of orange, I think of  Monarch butterflies, goldfish, sunsets, beautiful tiger lilies, and
cheese popcorn ;D !  What do you think of?
