Color Throwdown #494

Hello, Color Throwdown fans! It's Amy here with you as this week's host, and I've chosen a Memorial Day weekend theme for you to play with using the colors red, white and blue. I hope you are inspired by the above graphic and find a little time to get inky over the long holiday weekend. 

If you upload to a public gallery, please use the key words CTD494, and please use #ctd494 and #colorthrowdown on social media sites. Also, when linking up your card using the linky tool at the bottom of this post, please use a direct link to your specific post, not a generic link to your blog.  All of the "rules" are in the right sidebar, so check them out to be sure.  And no digital designs--only digital images that are printed off and colored will be allowed. Totally digital designs will be removed from the link up.

Enjoy inspiration below from the Color Throwdown team and guests!
