Heart a Day 2013 - Week 10 - Color Combination Ideas Running Out!

Running out of ideas--who me? Never! Well...that's not to say when you are creating a huge tapestry with a set amount of floss colors--it could get challenging. So far, I've alternated solid hearts with two-color combo hearts. And using the DMC anniversary collection, there are only a couple of colors at this point that I have not used. So now, the fun really begins!
