Cupcake #115 **sold**


This cupcake is showing off its complementary colors! Yellow and purple swirl together in a great floral shape. Complementary colors can be used to neutralize each other, add a bit of purple to yellow and you go from bright lemon to yellow ochre into deep mustard, but just a bit! Never underestimate the power of purple! Enjoy your day, I'll be posting Saturday's cupcake early tomorrow, and Monday, so be on the lookout!

Cupcake #83 **sold**


Wow, this is not a cupcake for those afraid of color! The orange and green really pop, even though they aren't true complementary colors, they are close enough to cause "vibration" between them. Red and green are the complements, but this green is bright and pure, and the orange is almost red, so like I said, not true opposites, but pretty darned close. Added to all this is a great coconut top with a beautifully painted bit of kiwi. This piece will be a knockout if you have a little dull spot or corner that needs some life! Have a great day!
