”Daffodil and Alley Cat both strike a little, even in spacer-sized beads so you can see some variation across the surface. Alley Cat is exactly the right shade of marmalade for making cats!” Read more at Heather’s blog. – Heather Kelly

"This is a beautiful color that is a cross between sunset orange and apricot in its hues. Works tremendously well both solo as well as with being mixed with other colours. My findings were when used on its own it gave a rich apricot hue which you can blush with repeated heat. A fuss free colour that comes with diversity within its range of hues."

"For this pumpkin, I used Alley Cat, which is a more ocher-toned orange, that tends to be more muted. This makes a more organic looking pumpkin that is perfect for autumn and Thanksgiving themed jewelry." Check out Kandice's tutorial Making Storybook Pumpkin Beads.

"Where the silver touched the bead there is a strong reaction which looks almost bronzish in places and the silver seems to fume areas of Alley Cat adjacent to the silver giving a deeper shade." Read more at Kitzbitz Art Glass' blog.
