Before I explain thus unique color palette challenge I want to remind those who completed the March challenge to enter it on Judy's post. One entry will be drawn to win a fat quarter pack from my shop.
So, here's the color palette for April.
I created this palette just to show that you can get color inspiration from ANYWHERE. Back in 2010 Judy posted this. It was a funny story about finding this pie in her garage months after leaving it there in the winter to stay cool.....where she promptly forgot it. I thought the story was funny but the more I looked at it the more I focused just on the colors. I created this palette for her and she's been wanting to make something with it ever since and that's why it's your April color palette challenge!
Are you in? Remember, you don't have to use all the colors and you have creative license to interpret the palette in a way that inspires you.










Great eye, Vicki. It's so easy to overlook beautiful color such as this and be sidetracked by the "subject". I love the palette you created.

Love these colours together. Totally gross bit of inspiration, but it's brilliant! Still LOL at the story 'cause I know I've done similar things. Good eye Vicki. You're amazing to find the beauty in something sooo disgusting! :o)

Gross picture! But love the story behind it. I was immediately drawn to the turquoise thinking it sure looked like mold before reading your post!

I'd decided my downstairs colour palette would be similar to this but a bit more cranberry and golden yellow. This is so cool.
