More Moroccan



Still playing with my Moroccan tiles idea using Circle Circus...sorry to be boring! I was intrigued by the colours set by the Colour Create challenge # 43 this week-Burnt Orange/Black and Cream. I thought that as this was quite a striking colour combo that they would probably work using this idea . The optional extra for the challenge was to include checks (#148) and that worked with this idea too . I am not sure now if I should have left a thin black border between each "tile". What do you think? Any comments appreciated. I also liked the sketch at Stamping 411 this week so combined that layout into my card as well. The result is another Moroccan "masculine" card.....anyone been to Morocco? I think that it would be a fascinating place to visit!

Far from boring, I love it! A black line would have looked great, but it would have been fiddely, and your card does look terrific as it is!

Hi Robyn!
Not boring - very classy - and I love it!! Don't think you need the black line between the tiles - maybe it would be too much and draw your eye away from the main image. The black & orange of the tiles blend in so well and complement the main image beautifully the way they are.
Funny how I had Moroccan chicken burritos for tea tonight......yummy!

Robyn this looks great! Love those colours together. Our daughter went to Morocco last year and found it absolutely fascinating. Hmmm...maybe Circle Circus should go onto my wishlist!
