I actually finished this card on World Card Making Day, but was so busy all weekend that I didn't have a chance to publish it until now.
I used the Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge SC300 and also the Copic Creations challenge #36,to use orange.

I used a gradient coloring and then over-laid dots of various colors. Here's a closeup:
