red and turquoise calligraphy notecards

i don't consider myself a "red" person.  i know a lot of red people (and i don't mean rednecks - well, i know some of those too actually)...and there are definitely people who make me see red...but i just have never really been down with the hue.  i don't own any red dresses, always shy away from OPI's russian red and its derivatives, and absolutely loathe our red kitchen (ugh - it was like that when we moved in a year ago and have yet to paint in there. long story.).  don't know what my beef is with it, but maybe a shrink could tell me.

but then...  you go and put it with turquoise and it's so lovely.

i fell in love with one of smock's new patterns, and it just so happened to be red and turquoise...

...and paired it with a name in a calligraphy font on the slant (i can't get enough, obvi).  and not just anybody's name - my college roommate's!  she's phenomenal.  no, really.

i think maybe i've been too hard on ol' red.  he's looking good!
