Dawnmercedes gave us the challenge to go to our "hoarded stash of scraps and papers" and put together a card.
The base of my pumpkin images is really a hoarded paper. I have a friend you makes handmade papers and now & then gifts me with some. In this particular one, she included pumpkin skin and flesh...don't know if you can see the flecks of it. I thought it would be perfect for a pumpkin-themed card! : ) I had some dotted scraps and used those for the pumpkins.....stamping on the paper itself.

Nicely done, perfect colors and love the gingham bg and stripe ribbon. I have stripe ribbon on my Santa list, I have none, I think it adds soo much to a card~

Wow! This is wonderful. I especially love that you used a handmade paper with bits of acutal pumpkin in it!

Wow, this handmade paper is gorgeous. It has great texture and I love the distressing you did on it. Your pumpkis are equally gorgeous with all the subtle patterns going on. Beautiful card!
