October 2021 DC Color Qi: Red NCS

Welcome to the October 2021 Color Qi Design Challenge.
Qi as in Chinese, literally: air, breath. power, life.

So we are looking for the essence of Jacques, what you think this color says.
Here is an interesting thread!

I have picked a color from the NaturalColorScheme that everyone is able to print.

The challenge here is to either make:
a swatch with our color color]Red NCS[/url]
or a swatch and a mini (3 papers, 5 elements - for example: journal card, fastener, frame, tag and flower - at least) with our color
or simply some graphics with our color Red NCS.

My entire house has these colors. It started with my craft room and took over the whole house. LOL NOTE: the scissors in the craft room are decoys. The good ones are hidden in a drawer.

Huh. I didn't realize that was an ADHD thing. That could explain me a bit, I think. I have to have it all in the open so I can see what I have also. And I just recently figured that out, lol! But it truly makes a difference for me if I can see what I have and don't have to go hunting for it, or through it, etc.

Me too! Once I realized if I don't see it I won't use it I set up everything that way. Important elements have no definite location and may as well be invisible or completely absent. If it's gotta be in a drawer I have to have it labeled.

As to our brain: Us with ADD let in EVERYTHING but then have to figure out a method of storing that massive amount of information. We are so preoccupied with the trivialities of life ("where are my keys, phone, etc?") that it has little room for new thoughts and memories. To make way for new information, something must be eliminated or forgotten.

"For a person with ADHD, information and memories that are out of sight are out of mind. Her mind is a computer in RAM, with no reliable access to information on the hard drive." ADDitude Magazine

On a positive note see Top 10 Reasons People with ADHD Make Great Writers [and Scrap Kit Designers]. A good trade off if you ask me!
