Inspiration

One of the best reasons to be part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is for all of the inspiration you can get when everyone is linking up their posts each Saturday.  I was challenged by the August colors of pale purple/gray and evergreen, until I spent some time looking at what others in our group had accomplished. Suddenly, I knew what I could do with my Scrap Jar Stars.

I have to admit, I did have to do a little stash enhancement , which involved finding a couple of light purple fat quarters.  I can justify this by saying that I can get quite a lot out of two fat quarters, and then have more scraps to add to my stash!  Nothing wrong with that, right?!?!  :)

I ended up with these two stars - one in pale purple and gray together, with a few little pops of green and other colors.  I love the green and purple apples, but the red one in the center is especially fun!

The other is mostly gray with a smidge of yellow - a cool, cloudy day with a bit of sun shining through.

They look good together - 

and it is also fun to see them contrasted with the bright yellow and purple stars I made earlier this year.
