It’s tulip time! Saw the first tulips pop up nearby. I have tulip envy because tulips don’t have a chance on my property with the hungry deer all around! The bright red tulips look especially gorgeous which brings us to today’s inspiration…

Inspiration From…The Pansy

TS — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:21:31 +0000

One way to get design inspiration is to pull colors from nature. With the start of spring this month, the pansy will begin to take center stage. This pansy has many shades of violet which is a hot color this spring. Here is today’s inspiration from nature.
