Feliz Dia de los Muertos!
I wanted to honor my loved ones that have passed on so I decided to make a card in celebration of the traditional Mexican holiday "Day of the Dead". To me "Day of the Dead" is seeing skeletons with vibrant colored flowers. While I was reading about the celebration on Halloween night I learned what each of the colors used represents.
Black- represents death & is used mostly as a background color.
White- represents purity & renewal.
Purple- is a very important color. It It signifies pain, suffering, grief and mourning. Purple is used by the families to acknowledge their loss of loved ones.
Pink- represents people that are paying joyous tribute to the lives of the deceased. They celebrate the return of the dead and their reunion with family members.
Orange- represents the sun.
Yellow- represents the light and also death.
Red- represents blood or the blood of life
