A color challenge (and others)

Tiddly Inks issued a color challenge last week- orange, yellow, turquoise. I had so much fun coloring Happy Bugg in these colors. I used the sketch from Simon Says (I shrunk it in a bit, but the elements are still there.)

Stamp: Tiddly Inks digi
Paper: Cosmo Cricket
Tools: Nestabilities rectangles; Copics
