Orange Rays

Since I started Kim Hughes' "focus on one color" series, I was determined to play all days, no matter what color she revealed next. Orange! Whew, hard one. This card came together pretty quickly, as it was my intention to keep this clean, graphic and simple, perhaps to give to a man (perhaps due to time restraints)? This was my first time embossing these rays onto patterned paper, as suggested by Courtney during her release. (It's a really neat effect!) I also wanted to include some black stitching on this card, as I had done with the others in my color series. Black seems to go with everything...I am thinking this card would work on the feminine side to if I were to change out the colors to a pink flower pattern with yellow accents?
