A Rainbow of Colors in Creativity

Today I wanted to share with you all some inspiration based on "Color by Theme" and finding a color scheme for the themes you scrapbook the most.

Creating with color does more than make your pages shine - it helps to set a tone & enhance a specific mood.  You can stick around with tried & true colors for scrapping a particular theme (such as yellow for summer or pink for baby girl), but don't overlook the less common color theme combinations.  Let's consider a few color choices of the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, and green.
