Tropical Fusion Bloghop

January 18, 2014 · 45 Comments

Please have a “moment” with the NEW Color = RADIANT ORCHID
and get ready to take a trip around the world with it. 

Cherri Fizz + Jazz pillows by ©LisaRivas

This voyage of Tropical Fusion started with the incentive of a fabulous group of 45 surface designers that are
willing to show you what this new PANTONE** COLOR – RADIANT ORCHID can really be like for you.
Go through this fun activity called a blog-hop and enjoy the sights!

My feeling for this color started by drawing with my fountain pen & some beautiful ink.

Then I watched how it played with other hues;

…it really knew how to dance and sway around!

Cherri Jazz by © Lisa Rivas

This color was radiating as if it had been born in the Tropics,
it was so infused with movement and light.

:heart:

I think it knew it was going to hop around the world with the TROPICAL FUSION BLOG-HOP.
…which is opening with the fun and dynamic patterns at Groovity Designs of Mary Tanana.

Click here if you want to start from the beginning.

manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty...
