am i color blind?

i must be going color blind. after many (wretchedly unsuccessful) attempts to do something with the winter flower stamps, i finally figured out why i was having so much trouble. the background color is purple. all i could see was blue. i can't figure out why i saw blue. but, it was fun to resolve that issue. this is just one layer. i like the idea of filling up an envelope with the name. so, this might evolve into a series.
