I appear to be on a roll! I’m using up greens at a fairly good clip, and I’m happy with how today’s look came out, too. Don’t know if that’s my skill improving, my color choices working better, my mood being less snarktastic (now that we have a summer - woo!) or planetary alignment.
Who cares? It looks good, I’m happy :D
