P.S. Don't forget to leave a comment telling me your favorite color combination, I know mine changes daily so if you happen to be like me, I totally won't mind if you come back every day with a new color combination.  Right now I am digging the Navy Blue and Yellow, like what I picked in the bundle above.  But I also have been thinking alot about brown lately, does anyone have any good suggestions of what would look good with brown?
The more detailed about colors the better:
Like Lime Green, love lime green with purple,
or Bright Yellow with a soft Grey, omg, don't get me started, would LOVE to know YOUR favorite color combination!  IT just might turn into mine, HA!
