Mary has given us some great fall colors Blueberry Bushel, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry with the option of a scarecrow, green or both
I decided to go with a scarecrow and colored with pencils

Your scarecrow definitely brings the "happy" to Happy Fall Y'All. He is so sweet and your coloring is superb. The yellow gingham helps to add a bit more happy. I love the blue as the base and how it ties the other colors together in your design. Wonderful card.

What a cute, happy scarecrow. I don't think he could scare away the birds, but he is fun. Beautiful coloring. Great layers. I like how you embossed the background layers with stitching. It ties in the scarecrow look. Fabulous use of the challenge colors!

I love your country scarecrow, Pam, and especially the way you colored him with pencils. I struggle with them, and would love to be able to get the effect you did, smooth blending of colors, looks great! Love the diagonal lines, too! Such a fun card!

Great idea to use the pencils on this cutie! They give realistic homespun flavor to a scarecrow who's been out in the sun doing his job for a long time. It's a wonderful card - plus a trip down memory lane!

Great looking scarecrow, Pam, although I don't think he will be scaring anyone or anything! Beautiful coloring, love the raffia and the sentiment along with dp add to the country feel~
