Orange you glad I shared?

Orange Finds from CIC

Orange is a power color. It is one of the healing colors. 

Orange is said to increase the craving for food. When you or someone you know is having a sluggish kind of day, you can turn the day around by buying this creative & playful Fruit & Veggie Greeting Card from LindaButterfly. This Autumnal greetings is so cheerful. The wonderful color of these unusual raspberries look splendid arranged next to a stunning orange-red pumpkin. (Description From LindaButterfly's Shop) 

Orange also stimulates enthusiasm and creativity. Much like these stunning Carnelian & Gold Vermeil Earrings by ElektraJewelry. Stunning carnelian stones and gold vermeil balls and discs adorn long graduated chains on this pair of earrings. The ear wires and chain are 14k gold filled and tiny faceted carnelian stones add the wonderful sparkle. This are great for everyday or with a dress for evening. (Description From ElektraJewelry Shop)

 I have been told that if a change of any kind is need in life, just burn an Orange candle for 7 nights. And this Gel Halloween Pumpkin Candle should do the trick by ValerieEssentials. This 100% Prenco Gel Wax Candle is Clear but with a Great Cinnamon Spice Holiday Scent. The Little Hat Really Makes It. (Description From ValerieEssentials Shop)

Also people who like orange are usually thoughtful and sincere, much like the creators of these beautiful, enticing, stimulating and fun items.

My interview on Whohub

ART

	What do you do?  How do you define yourself as an artist? Because I love color and texture I regard  myself as an artist; I appreciate the world,  both natural and man made, and I often  capture my feelings about that by creativity.
	Do you upload your work to the web?  If so, where could we see it? I sell my art online on Etsy.  I have two shops; start with  www.lindabutterfly.etsy.com
	How is an idea born? For you, what is inspiration? My mind is always full of ideas; I have too many  to get them all out and onto paper or canvas.
	When and how did you begin to see yourself as  an artist? Since I was around 4 and going against what I  was told to draw in class, and making what I  wanted to make as a response to the feelings  I had inside me.
	Which artists do you admire and how do they  influence your work? I admire anyone who is able to express their  feelings in art; be that photography, film,  acrylics, watercolor etc. I like bold colors, I  like texture; right now I am enjoying Gaugin's  work. I also like collage, and art with a specific  message, like Colin Self's work.
	Is art necessary? Is breathing necessary?

Aren't these cards just awesome? If I didn't use my Hello Kitty ones I would definitely buy cards from Linda.

How to use the New Twitter

The new interface of Twitter is rolling out. Have you

 seen it? Reply, Favorite, and ReTweet are clearly 

shown when the mouse moves over the tweet..

You can better see your @mentions, Retweets, 

searches and lists you are in.

These two links may be of use:

Mashable shows some screenshots 

of the new interface New Twitter   gives some tips

 When you click Reply, up pops a clear dialogue box.

 Again, a clear box pops up when you want to delete tweets.

Looking at Your Tweets, you will see that ReTweets have 

a green corner added and Faves have a yellow corner 

added! You can undo the ReTweet from here too.

So far I like it, though my old computer screen means

 I don't  see all of the two pane system clearly.

There is also an arrow to click on the end of the tweet, &
