Good morning and welcome to another Challenge.  This week we have a challenge called 'Oranges and Lemons'.  You can take this theme as literally as you wish so you could create a card with the fruit oranges or lemons or you can create a card with the colours oranges and lemons.  The choice is yours!  I can see some sunsets in the horizon.

Winner | Inspire.Create.Challenge #195

Good morning and happy Sunday to you all, we are currently in the grips of heatwave here in the UK.  It is probably nothing like some of the temperatures that some of you are used to but we don't cater for it well here in the UK, aircon is not a thing in many homes, the closest I get is when I open the fridge!
