Morning readers, 

I'd like to welcome my latest follower, Maria Patrick - hope you will soon find a reason to visit again

I've a make to share with you today ....... a little different for me today, it's a CAS colour challenge of "pink and gold" so ... on the assumption that not ALL white space has to be "white" ..... I have an expanse of gold with my pink elephant!
