This week's The Cat's Pajamas challenge card is hosted by Ana, who stepped in for Toni, who chose this picture for inspiration for making our cards. Toni planned on hosting the challenge, but her house was hit by lightning so she became Internet-less. (She and her family are okay.)

When I saw the picture, my first thought was, "Yuck, that is a room I would not be comfortable in!" Too cold, too industrial. But I do like the cheery yellow and blue fabrics. There are both completed garments and yardage on the hangers. Some quilters store their large pieces of fabric on hangers. I like the fact that there is a rotary cutter on the floor. The Olfa cutters are yellow. Anyway, I think that the Inspiration challenges are my favorite ones, because it is fun to study the picture to see what I can pull from it.

For my card, I picked up on the white space, the yellow, blue, and aqua colors, and the circle shapes on the wall. The dotted gift image picks up on the dotted fabrics in the photo. The yellow band across my card was inspired by the tape measure looped around the dress form.
