It seems Night and Papaya are the season’s hot trend at Paper Source! Recently, a good number of us showed up in this cheerful combination, and we couldn’t help but think: PS color combinations look smashing in terms of paper crafts and home decor, why wouldn’t they be great in fashion too!

So, tell us: What colorscope wardrobe combinations do you see or love to wear?

When we launched Clover last year, I admittedly lacked proper appreciation for this fan favorite. All I could think of was cheesy cartoonish applications, like clip art images. Even my Irish roots were rejecting this colorful nod to St. Patrick’s Day fun.

But, a recent trip to Puerto Rico left me totally inspired. A walk through the El Yunque Rainforest uncovered endless potential for Clover. Refreshing the imagery in my head with color combinations I had previously ignored.

So, if you find your creative soul looking for inspiration beyond today’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, then I offer up these photographs to rekindle your love for this happy green. Or, add to the inspiration by commenting with your favorite Clover combinations.
