Below is my own entry for this challenge:
What do you think of when your read the color YELLOW? When I think of the color, the thought of the summer sun filtering through lush green leaves that stretch out into an expansive deep blue sky comes to mind. I think of the way the sand radiates warmth against my skin or the tang of lemonade as it refreshes me on a hot day. Colors are more than a visual. They can morph into sensory triggers. A touch, taste or memory of something that lingers in the back of your mind. So, today when you express yourself using this color - in whatever form it takes - think of what it represents to you and then explore. In the end, you might be surprised as to what comes out.

I find that yellow isn't a color I see with frequency lately in the land of art journals but look at how vibrant they are when used:

or how they add the right amount of "pop" to a simple yet lovely spread:

What could be better than a little yellow and orange on a grey day? Great stuff!!
Your page is wonderful!!!
I love yellow! but ironically enough I chose to do my color of the day with my least favorite, orange. Embrace the enemy, so to speak. Yellow is warm and comfortable and invokes smiles. I love your page, it is lovely!

your journal page is lovely. I was out of the house earlier than usual today and everything was bathed in the most amazing yellow light. How appropriate for today!
@tina's space: Yellow is the happy color. :) Thanks for stopping by!
@Sunny: Thank you, Sunny. How apropos that you choose this post to comment on. *winks*
@girlunwinding: I loved your pages, Dawn. Orange is a hard color but is another great summer into fall color. :)
@iamrushmore: Very! It is cold where I live but the sun is out and bathing everything in it's gorgeous light. I agree on appropriate! :)
Oh how poetic you describe your colour. I too think of sunshine, especially right now as it's pitch dark outside and the rain is pooring down. :-)
@Daisy Yellow It was a lot of fun and came to me easier than I thought. I really enjoyed helping out!
@iHanna I tend to be a bit verbose at times. :) Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for stopping by.
