Congratulations - Color Throwdown CFD176

Hi there!  I needed to make a card this weekend for a co-worker that will soon be starting a new job within the company.  So, I wanted to make "congrats" card for her.  When I looked around at the challenge blogs this morning, these colors caught my eye at The Color Throwdown Challenge #176.
Take a look ~

And...I was really wanting to use some of the Pool Party seam binding that arrived at my door on Monday.  This was my chance :)
Even though this is a pretty color palette, I really struggled to work some Rose Red into my card.  It seemed to overpower the other colors when I used it for one of the punched pieces.  So, I ended up using it in just a few small doses.  I think it works.  I'm hoping the recipient thinks so!

Gotta love that Pool Party color right now, in the middle of winter.  It's reminding me that spring (and warmer temps) aren't TOO far off!
