Wild Orchid Chafts - Blues and/or Purples!

It's time for another challenge at Wild Orchid Crafts.
The theme this week is a color scheme. You must use Blues and/or Purples. I I don't use enough of these colors. I think they are gorgeous and so very rich looking. The new LOTV image goes perfect with it. The name of the stamp is called Skipping.
