Dark brown side fold card with corrugated paper torn and inked with some brown, a bit of black, and gold inks. I die-cut 5 ovals to make my pumpkin. Added a flower fall flower cluster. I finished with a hand-drawn, fussy-cut pumpkin stem. and a stamped headline in the corner. I didn't think a wee banner would look good so opted for stamping directly on the base. Because of a disaster in my craft area, I'm rushing now to keep up and keep these cards simple. Yes, they are all in the mail. Just trying to catch up with the ones I'm giving out when I see the person, posting and trying to start my Christmas cards.

Beautiful Thanksgiving card, Betty, You have incorporated great texture and dimension with the corrugated bg and the die cut pumpkin filled with sunflowers. Lovely color choices and card design.

I love the corrugated background with the torn and inked edge. It looks great. The ovals for the pumpkin came out really cool. The sunflowers are perfect finishing touch. I can relate to the craft area disaster!

So pretty, Betty. You made a very good pumpkin stem and the flowers are so pretty. I love the corrugated paper and the tear. I had a disaster in my craft room last week. A shelf fell from the wall. It was loaded with all kinds of craft items. It even knocked a hole in the wall. Ugh! What mess!!!! So, I feel for you.

Great card. I love the pumpkin you made using oval die cuts -- very clever and effective. Super drawing and cutting to create the stem too. The corrugated layer is awesome -- adds both interest and texture as does the ripped corner. I think stamping directly onto the card base was the right choice. Fabulous card, Betty.

Fab pumpkin and flowers, but I totally love the corrugated piece and the torn corner. Wonderful card, Betty. Hugz
