Challenge #64

Hello!  It's Louise here and I have the honour of being your hostess for March, which means that the challenges have all been designed by myself and I get to write the challenge and winner posts.  Let's kick off this Spring time (in the Northern hemisphere at least!) with some floral colours, inspired by the crocuses in my garden.

Please ensure that you only use these three colours, plus any neutral, be careful not to add colours, or we can't consider you for top 3, sorry.  You can see what the DT members were inspired to create below...
