I created this card for 2 different challenges. The first one is for Julie's special FS day. I am so excited for you Julie. Your gallery is FULL of beauty. You know how much I love it all. You are always so helpful and kind. I chose this set for your special FS day because it is a FireCracker Designs favorite of mine. I cased this card:
I changed the dp and I cb'd the background rather than the side. Congrats Julie... I love your gallery and your talent is amazing..
This is also for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. She had the most adorable teapot with a red pear on it. My pear is not quite this red. I think I need to hire Cindy's photographer...Check it out here: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/
Have a great stamping day...

Get into position! Dawn is here! She's the first one and she's packing fruit! I don't know....I just don't know what she will do! But I hired you to get the fruit! So if you wanna see your pay you best get the fruit!
Healthy or not healthy, fruit is fruit! Snort! Okay, Why did I not have a pear stamp like that one! Darn it! I have 42,000 stamps in my stamp room and nary a pear!
Your card is awesome! How wonderful that you brought Julie to the teaparty in a round about way. Betcha if she brings fruit it will be Just Write! Thanks for coming Dawn....thanks for the link! I love your wonderful card especially the shape of your pear and the lacing down the side and no worries, we will give you back your fruit when you leave! (if you are good!)

First one to the party! Now don't be hoarding all the best fruit for the surprise fruit toss! Don't tell Cindy. She has warned us about food fights, much less fruit tossing. lol Your card is wonderful Dawn. I love the pears with that sentiment. Would make a great anniversary card! This is so nicely done. TFS :0)

Dawn, I love your pear card. The criss cross lacing is what I noticed first about your card. It is fabulous. I hope to be at the party soon. I am just waiting for my adhesive to dry. It looks like we are going to be eating healthy this week. I bet Cindy is even serving Green tea. Maybe we can sneak some chocolate in.

Ohh ruby red pears! I LOVE your background papers and layout and I WISH I had that sentiment...I am seriously lacking in the fruit stamp department, and I need to order me a bushel of 'em! FAB and FRUITY card, PearGal...I mean, Dawn! PS...I left you a note on one of my recent flower cards in my gallery from last week...better check it out!

Love the combination of the stamp and the Basic Grey paper. Still got my thinking hat on for this teapot - but I did have a friend and her two kids call round unexpectedly today, so that's my excuse for not having had time to think yet.
But I know I don't have any suitable fruity stamps, let alone the perfect pear.

This is such a pretty card!! I love the little stitchings along the side, and that paper looks yummy, along with the pears! Great job on this one!

A pair of perfect pears! Like your bkdgrd paper which highlights your fruit so nicely. I don't know though, isn't bringing two pears trying a little too hard to get at the head of the table.
