Happy orange day to one and all!
This color reminds me of Orange World in Kissimmee, FL. I think Orange World is one of my favorite places ever. If you haven't been there, I think you need to pack your bags and start heading that way, because it's really an unforgettable experience - right up there with Disney World. Well, maybe not quite that amazing, but I do really love Orange World! Here's a picture. Look at all this bright, cheery, retro goodness!
It smells like sweet, fresh oranges, and almost everything they sell, with the exception of Disney World memorabilia, is orange. And the actual oranges they sell are completely amazing...without a doubt, the best oranges I have ever tasted.
Okay, now that I'm done walking down memory lane, let's get started with today's programming. Orange is a very fun color, don't you think? Here are some fun orange items to be found on the web.

Come to think of it, besides being a fun, cheery color, orange is also a very warm color, which is probably why it's often associated with autumn. Flames in the fireplace are orange, sunsets are orange, apple cider is orange-ish, and orange has an overall "warm" feeling to it. Doesn't that necklace in the collage look so warm? I really like the shade of orange in that...it's quite cozy.
Okay, now that you know that orange is a warm and fun color and that it reminds me of Orange World, and you've seen a quartet of interesting orange paraphanelia from the web, let's do a freebie!
I've created two orange greeting cards for you all today. You can see the sample below, and then download them right here. You'll get a ZIP file containing two JPG's and one PDF.
