That’s lovely, Sarah. And I completely agree that yellow is a happy color. I found myself doing an entire Pinterest board… all yellow (I called it Mad About Saffron), just because looking at all the yellow made me happy. 😀
Hugs.

Yellow definitely improves mood, suggests warmth, and also works very well on your card!
