Today's Teapot Challenge takes us to Mississippi - I think, along the way, some leaves have started to turn. Actually, I had goodies in the basket, but, according to Mothermark, Barney the bear is smarter than the average bear. I am pretty sure he got out of his basket long enough to substitute some pretty fall leaves for the food I was bringing. Did I go to Plan L (for leaves)?

The black paper is from a pack of handmade paper - it has gold dots that just fit the mat size I used.
I also used last week's color challenge. and the sketch found here: http://sasthefreshbatch.blogspot.com/

Oooo! This is so pretty, Dorothy!
I'm glad you were able to make it today. Hey, do you mind if Boo Boo and I empty the basket of its leaves? We need another basket for the honey. Come on over here and I'll 'splain it all to you.

What a clever person you are by putting leaves in the basket. Ah, that bear will be off the scent for sure. What a peaceful sweet card you have made here. Love the dots, they add so much. TFS :0)

Gorgeous Fall card! Very clever to throw off the bears with the basket full of leaves!

I love the gold dots. That basket of leaves is so pretty. A few years ago my friends at church gave me a basket filled with silk, fall colored leaves. I still get it out in the fall.
