Art Journal Pages and More

One of my circle art journal groups is called I Dream in Colors, and the other day I received Karen's journal to work on.  Her chosen colors are brown, orange and cream, and in addition, Karen has a circus theme going on.  As in, life is a circus.  Which it often seems to be.
