    The thing is, there is not P in ROY G BIV so the Pink shouldn’t be there. And when it combines with a neighbor it becomes almost Coral. Nope – not there. And if they were gone you’d have room for Purple but why — I ask you WHY?– have you dumped Indigo!? Two thirds of the dot card were RPOY, for goon’ess sake. So. That aside, adorable cards, the dots and stripes are both must-haves, love the font you use and these are great simple cards. (Hope you know the rant is just teasin’).
