Houses

**************January 17 update

Thank to everyone for the wonderful comments on these pages!! The color scheme is a result of a very limited color pallet--my "mini studio" only has 12 bottles of paint, and the only primary is yellow! I used magenta, violet and purple for my houses, and the magenta and yellow created some orange--

It's been a long time since I've had color theory and design classes, but i have discovered that a 4-color analogous color scheme is quite dynamic because it also includes a complimentary color scheme--try it out with yellow, orange, red and violet (which is what mine is with the magenta representing the red) or maybe green, blue, violet and red....

And two pages for the GPP Street Team Crusade 36:

Maria - hello! Thanks for coming to play on the team. Terrific shape - the houses! Love how you layered the images as masks, and then used them on the page. Great interpretation of the challenge.

Those houses are super, but it is the colours you have used that really got my attention. I think the colour scheme is outstanding.

I love your idea of using four analagous colors, and of course the way this turned out!
