August

 Welcome back, friends!  It's August, and we present to you our eighth challenge.  

 This month it's all about

Tranquil Turquoise

Our inspiration board is quite eclectic this month, merging the rainbow and color of the month.  I hope you like it and that it helps inspire you.  Turquoise is a funny color; it can be greener or bluer, both are welcome.  As always, please feel free to incorporate any neutrals that you need in your design as well!
