Papertrey Princesses Challenge - Nontraditional Colors

Good morning!  Sorry for the tardiness of my posting this challenge...and I don't have a real excuse...just that what I truly need to do in my life gets in the way of what I want to do sometimes...okay, times.   Either way, I hope you enjoy have fun with this!
There's been some discussion on the PTI forum about using nontraditional colors for Christmas cards and projects.  Typically, I'm a pretty traditional gal...but the discussion and some awesome PTI design team projects has gotten me trying to think outside the box...not to mention outside my comfort zone.  So...I thought it would be fun for this challenge to use some nontraditional colors for fall projects...and here's what I've come up.
First, a clean and simple card using a kraft base and a few die cuts in red, green and blue...the sentiment on a double ended banner...and a button as the finishing touch.
I just couldn't let the other leaves from the die cut go to waste...so I put together another card...off white base...red, blue and green leaves...a strip of brown with a woodgrain impression anchoring twine and a button...and a sentiment perfect for a friend I've been needing to keep in touch with. 
 
Thanks for stopping by, and have a super day!

    I love the spin you put on your fall card! The color choice looks great together! I will have to start thinking outside the box! Great job!

    Very cool. I really have enjoyed your colors. So refreshing. The blue is so lovely especially. What crafty food for thought. I can see a fair swag of fun blue leaves blowing my way. Thanks for the inspiration.
