Bright Hello - Red, Gold, and Blue with Arrow

A bright hello with two dies from my "unused" collection - an arrow and chevrons.  They are such great shapes, I don't know why it took me so long to pull them out!

When my very-supportive husband looked at my first version, which used all solid red instead of the dotted red, he said "it looks kind of commercial" (aka boring).  So I changed to dotted red for my arrow and bottom strip.  Much better with the playful touch it adds. 

Card details:

• Card stock is Paper Source curry (gold), Papertrey Ink (PTI) enchanted evening (dark blue) and pure poppy (red), and two prints from PTI pattern packs: stripes in blueberry sky (medium blue) and bitty dot in pure poppy.
• Dies are PTI wonderful words: hello, get to the point, and diagonals (B).  The diagonals die is only six chevrons long, but it was easy to "chain cut" in my Big Shot for a longer strip.
