Is It Really Only With Horseshoes and Hand Grenades?

Surely the old adage of "almost only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades", isn't as limiting as it sounds?  Because I reckon that I almost managed to incorporate the Week 1 colors for Online Card Classes' Summer Card Camp 2011 as they were put forth.  The colors are shades of purple, pink, orange, sky blue, and white.  Admittedly, I have gone the less vibrant/summery option but the more rebellious muted versions of the week's colors (more in line with the fact that I am currently freezing my butt of today during this Australian winter).

Instead of crafting with my sunglasses on (not because my future is so bright I have to wear shades),  I just took the colors down a notch (Scotty) and realized that my almost colors would be well suited to a baby card.  Hence, this star was born.  That pun may or may not possibly have been intended.  *shifty*

Here's a look at the class' colors of the week, so you can see what I was on about and how I almost got there:

Well, there's always next week, right?  Thanks for popping by.  It's been a real pleasure!
