BAO Color Inspiration

We thought we'd add a twist to the BAO color inspiration.  The color theme selected for this challenge was to use navy and orange.  We then had the option of using any other color.  We thought it would be fun to see the resulting selections as a mosaic.  We had 5 BAO members this week who participated.



1.  dawnchastain  2.  SandFibers  3.  time2cre8  4.  Naftali  5.  Malodora

In the future, these color challenges will appear on Mondays, usually around the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month.  The next challenge will be on November 15th.  What colors would you like to see?  Suggest 2 colors by midnight November 2nd and they may be used in our next color inspiration.
