Deck of Me - Week 18 - Color

I have posted any of my cards lately in the Deck of Me year long challenge. Two weeks ago the prompt was color. My "favorite" color seems to change every couple of months... but for the last year or so, I seem to be really attracted to orange.

Here is the card I made for the challenge:

And here's a little summary of what orange can represent:

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and endurance.

Orange has very high visibility, so you can use it to catch attention and highlight the most important elements of your design. Orange is very effective for promoting food products and toys.

What's your favorite color?

I'm so far behind on this project. Purple is my favorite color, well I really like most colors, but purple is my favorite, only because it's something different.

Great card!
