Bellbird. Looks like I will have to go back to the drawing board. I didn't pick up on using PINK. I used the literal colours of the rainbow. Also query whether my use of the same flower twice is allowable. I can tweak the page to conform if what I have done is incorrect.

Sorry I only just saw this while going thru the thread commenting (putting the @ symbol in front of my username will make sure I'm tagged & alerted) but I believe I commented on your updated version and the flowers were fine.

I just want to try to be clear about flowers. I love them but for the challenge, 1 flower that's red, but has a yellow centre, can't be used to represent both red & yellow - an extra flower in yellow is needed if you have no other yellow on your page. This is why I wrote in the requirements about details should be in black, white, silver & gold. It makes seeing where the 7 colours are actually used very easy for both you scrapping & us checking!
 
Now that I'm looking at this, I think I need to add some stitching across the banners to hold them to the page. Anyway, great challenge. I definitely wouldn't have tried this on my own. :)

 
This one took forever, mostly becasue there's a ridiculous amount of detail that went into the kaleidoscope (it's made from papers made out of one of the sets of butterflies). Didn't help that I got it into my fool head to wrap the text around the frame - which wouldn't have been such a time suck if I had known what I was doing. That was today's lesson - how to wrangle paths. As tired as I am I feel very accomplished :-D

The page is pretty cute, too, I think. Was going to go with a white background but it just made it look unfinished. Glad I decided to try the black.

Phew!...Finally Here To Post My Finished Layout!...I Think I Didn't Fully Understand The Gist Of This Challenge Until I Was Knee-Deep In Elements...I Probably Made This More Complicated Than I Needed To...That's What Happens When You Check Out The Challenge At 6:30 In The Morning...Meh!...Either Way This Took Me Almost The Whole Day/In-Intervals Of Course & Some Of The Evening & Next Morning To Finally Complete This...I Have Never Clustered This Deep/And Or Shadowed For This Long...Each Cluster Of Color Contains A Ridiculous Amount Of Elements...I Have Never Used This Many Kits To Complete Any Layout Ever!...And It Has Never Taken This Long Either...

*My Layout Is Probably Self-Explanatory...Each Color Cluster Is Connected In The "Rainbow Connection" By A Different Arrow Placed In Each Cluster Pointing To All The Other Grey/Silver Arrows In The White Space...Originally I Was Gonna Go With Black Arrows But It Was Too Intrusive So I Settled On Dark Grey/Silver & I Found It To Look Just Right Perspective-Wise & Layout Design-Wise...I Already Spoke To bellbird & She Gave Me A Thumbs Up Earlier Yesterday Morning(My Time)...So I Hope This Is Conformant To All The Rules...

* I Normally Include My Credits Here & In My Gallery But There Are Just Too Many Kits To Type This Twice But I Will Include All Credits In My Gallery...

So Here's My Color Connect Layout:

I'm hoping "round rainbow" is allowed? :) If not, I will happily submit another page because this was fun to do; making another rainbow would mean even more fun! Also, I don't want to brag but I do want to say how happy I was when I realized the pink/blue paint that I clipped to "Be happy" so perfectly aligned with my pink and blue papers! Anyway, thanks for another great MOC challenge, Justine!
