I think the bulb may be starting to go on my scanner. What this doesn't show well is that the polka dots on the orange paper are gold foil, and what looks like white paper is actually cream. The top of the acorn is gold metallic and the bottom is cut from brown suede paper (feels and looks like suede).
I've been away from stamping for a long time and my friend Nancy Littrell suggested I start with something Clean and Simple. This card opens at the bottom of the cream colored part, where the CS is folded back on itself. The scalloped circles hang below the fold.
Thanks for looking.

OMG Judy, I just LOVE your autumn card. You were so creative with all your punches. Must really be beautiful IRL with all the metallic and your gift card style. Love it all......I am SO pleased to see you stamping again and sharing your talent with us all. TFS

Nice fall card Judy, I like your colors and layout.
When you get out of your slump...come on over and get me out of mine! I've uploaded only two cards in two weeks and if not for the SC challenge it would be zero!
Happy stamping!

A beautiful card, love the simple and clean look but it is still classy and I bet with the metallic, it is better in RL. TFS

Thanks SCSers for all your encouragement!
What a wonderful autumn card! I love the idea of the suede paper for the botton of the acorn and the gold texture piece for the top! The foil dots must be fabulous IRL. It's so hard to show the true beauty of a card with a scanner or camera--so much better in person! I hope you keep stamping--it's a great way to spend time in my opinion--way better than housework! LOL!!

Whether your scanner worked or not, this is beautiful. It is clean looking and has a fun feeling. I like all the texture. I haven't seen this layout/card shape - it is really cool - I may have to case it. TFS!
