Planned design

My plan was to print out turquoise and purple. When I got to the Riso printer and tested out the turquoise, it looked was darker than expected. I decided to change to the green colour since it was a bit brighter. I also want to practice a bit with transparencies. Not getting the layered affect I'm expecting to see like when I have 2 overlapping shapes in the design file.
