Another blog hop today! And, this time it's a color challenge. I find them to be the most challenging because there is no structure, just colors. Yikes!

Peaceful Moments Sympathy Card
It's always sad when someone passes, but this was a really hard death for me. My daughter and four of her friends have been friends since kindergarten.
