Baby Shower in Warm Colors
Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge #23: Warm-colored baby set. It's HOT here in Florida, so it's very fitting to do a warm color on some cactus cookies!

Hi, these are lovely, but I'm not sure they fit the Challenge guidelines for a couple of reasons: (1) The colors don't look warm to me; the look mostly cool with dots of warm colors, and (2) they seem more baby-themed rather than summer- or winter-themed. But, I'll let @Bakerloo Station weigh in. It looks like you have another entry, so even if this one doesn't qualify, I think your other one does. Thanks!

This is really a very pretty baby set! However, I have to agree with Julia, that this set does seem to mix warm and cool shades - particularly the pinks and greens.  The pinks are borderline to me, but your greens are more clearly a mix of warm and cool.  The lines and details on some of the cacti look to be a warm lime green, and the others are a cool minty green. Your choice of theme is also quite ambiguous.  HOWEVER, I will leave your set in the challenge, and let the judges make the final determination. Thank you for giving the challenge a go!

Thank you Ms. Usher and Bakerloo. I really tried to work out of my comfort zone on this set. I was being very ambitious and to mix colors that I don't often use. I also wanted to do two things that were juxtaposed with each other, prickly cactus and cuddly babies. I do love the way the cacti came out. I actually design these cookie cutters and had them printed at our local library on their 3D printer! It has worked out very well for me and they did a little story on us.  

I thought it may be helpful to post some other photos of this set as the one I posted may be a little dark. (I had taken it in the morning.) I hope that these will give a better view of the colors.

I hope that all find these helpful. Thank you for the challenge, I enjoyed it very much!
