I've heard that statement plenty of times, but with my sense of color, I need as many as possible. I don't want to settle on a color becuase I don't have the right one with me.
Working on this one, I had a color in mind to use in the background, but wasn't happy with the choices I had. I waited until I got home to finish it, because I knew I had the color I wanted in the set of Doaks that I did'nt take with me, and it worked perfect (or close to perfect).
The more the merrier...

(not people, just pastels)
Thanks again Beth!
