I highly approve of the fact that my favorite color is the first one in the rainbow. Yes, I think red is an absolutely wonderful color. It's so bright and fun!
There are also lots of neat things online that are red. Here are a few I like that I think you might enjoy, too!
1. Frilly Bag by Bayan Hippo | 2. Mini Holiday Flashcards by Banana Fish Studio | 3. Red Pattern Washi Tape by Cute Tape | 4. Refined Cord Shirtdress by Anthropologie
Isn't this stuff fun? I'm beginning to really like browsing around at fun items, especially on Etsy. You'll notice that lots of my rainbow "stuff" this week will be from there. But I will throw in some links to other sites as well.
Now that you've gotten a quick dose of eye candy, I want to tell you a little bit about the color red from a design standpoint. This is just my personal opinion, but I think red is a very loud color. It catches people's attention because it's so bright and it really stands out. I don't know if that's why I like it or not, but I think red can have some very practical applications for design. If you need a color that will stand out from the crowd, red's a good choice. It's a useful color.
Speaking of usefulness, how about something that you can use right now? Like a freebie perhaps? I think so! Today's freebie is a set of three red-themed printable to-do lists. Since red is an eye catching color, I think it's perfect for a to-do list, which is something that, at least in my opinion, is more helpful if you can see it clearly. Here's what the lists look like.
You can download a PDF file if you click right here. Terms of use: you can't sell these to anyone, offer them for download on another site (please just link to my site), or claim that you made them. Any other uses are fine. Enjoy! And keep your eyes out for orange day tomorrow!

This is so cool! I love it! :D
Red is my favorite color too :) Like you said, it's so bold. I like the darker shades of red, (crimson, scarlet), though... they have more depth, even if they don't 'pop' as much.
By the way, I love the to-do lists! :)
oh they are so pretty!! i love the first purse you posted :D
The idea of rainbow week is soooo awesome, Carrie! I love it!!! The to-do lists you made are really cool! ;) And I can't wait for orange day... :D

Ooh, I like your to-do lists, Carrie. Do you have a suggestion for how to print them out? Is there a place online that will print them in "pad" form to put on your fridge or something?
