Pretty Posy

Good Morning Everyone
I hope you are all keeping safe. We're still trying our best to do the home schooling, but I have to admit I'm on the verge of giving up! Tom got 45 hours of work last week - he is so stressed with it all. He is in year 10 so it's the first year towards his GSCE's. We went though all the work and decided what to do and what to ditch! I know the teachers are working so hard to do what they can, we all just have to do our best!
Anyway, you may remember that I was asked to be GDT at As You Like It, well it's time for the next challenge. The theme....


What is your favourite colour to use with purple and don't forget to explain why!

Mine is green (unless it's a Christmas card in which case it's blue!) Purple and green reminds me of flowers, particularly lupins which I love. 
Here's my card
