* * * * * * * * * * *
Granny and Roy are two colorful characters, and they are both very creative in their use of color.  Granny uses yarn and crochets wonderful afghans and lap robes.  Roy is an "artiste" who spreads the colors of the rainbow everywhere he visits.  They both love making and solving puzzles.

Then Granny met Roy.

What a grand time they had together!  They chatted over appetizers of aged cheddar and red herring, placed some friendly wagers as they played some cards (cribbage anyone?), and after a meal of rainbow stew, turnovers, and more fromage, they partook of postprandial java and blue-frosted cupcakes.

To remember all the fun they had, Granny and Roy came up with a combined creation to share with everyone.  Granny was hoping that people would appreciate this creation more than they did some of her others, while Roy was happy that something he made would finally be placed in an area that wasn't so remote.

Can you find the message that Granny and Roy included in their creation below?  And, can you use that information to locate where they left a very familiar container for you to find?
