Orange on Low Volume

The March color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is orange.  As it happens, there is a certain appreciation for the color combination of blue and orange in my family (think SEC), so I have a lively batch of orange scraps.  And during last year's RSC, I was smitten by a certain frozen confection quilt and wound up adding even more orange scraps to my stash!

I really haven't had time to get into the orange scraps yet.  I need to get a few other things wrapped up or at least off the cutting table and design wall so I can do justice to the month of orange.  Today's scrappy house is kind of low volume, just like my amount of sewing this week!

This week's house is kind of a low volume orange, too.  It makes me think of orange sherbet!  This was  kind of a cheat, as I already knew about this house.  A friend of ours lives in the downstairs apartment.  The picture doesn't really do justice to the color - it's a lovely soft orange and the trim is a dark, orangey terracotta color.  

I'm sharing my scrappy results along with the other Rainbow Scrappers at Soscrappy's blog.  There's so much creativity among the challenge participants - I really hope you'll stop by to see what everyone is doing!
