I love the dots in Cath's Trigger:




Usually black typewriters are all SERIOUS...but this shows a bit of fun.


I'm sure the colors have a practical reason...but I pictured dots and paired them with Basic Grey Lauderdale DP.

I imagine this secretary is creating something colorful in her mind...or remembering the great time she had at the company party over the weekend.


I imagine in her heart...she's in color! ;)
