I wanted to go with an autumn themed card (surprise, surprise LOL), and found myself pulling out this wonderful trio of pumpkins from Abundant Blessings. Being far from any type of a decent colourer, I limped along using my Twinkling H2Os.
I added some scattered leaves at the base of the pumpkins to ground them and found this wonderful polka dotted, olive ribbon in my stash - score!

After a busy weekend I'm ready for a rest, but no such luck. The last three months of the year are always busy and I find it is basically a mad dash until Christmas -- can't believe I just said the "C" word...sorry!! Just pretend I didn't wink, wink.
I'd better run before I dig myself a bigger hole LOL! Have a great day :)
