Hi everyone,

I hope you are all having a good week! I have to admit, I wasn't quite ready for this post today, but nevertheless, I am going to try to pull it off anyway. I would like to share a card today that I did for the Hotspot challenge at Studio 313. There is a great challenge this month that you should really go check out. If you love the red carpet, the Oscars and all the glitz and glamour that goes with it, you will love this month's challenge. The challenge is to choose one of the selected Halle Barry dresses for your inspiration and dig into your creative mind to come up with a project to match. Sound like fun? I thought so. Here is what I came up with. I hope you like it and that you will play along.

Don't forget to stop by the Hotspot to see more inspiration from the rest of the DT girls.

Thanks for visiting me today, and please feel free to drop a line and let me know what you think. I love hearing from you. :)

Have a wonderful day.
