This week at ODBD, we want to see your fall creations! I used the new Fall Flower Pumpkin as the focal image, such a wonderful reminder of fall with pumpkins and mums! I paper-pieced the pumpkin and leaves and then colored the flowers. Living in Florida, I find it fun to make a few fall cards, since we donÂ’t have the glorious color changes I fondly remember when I lived in New Jersey. (And we often see "fake" carved pumpkins on display because it's still in the 80's here!!) But I certainly love our weather and beautiful palm trees!

Hi Cheryl! I just happened to see your card on the gallery comments and had to stop to say how beautiful it turned out. LOVE your patterned papers, layout and the beautiful flowers in the pumpkin. The acorns really a subtle, yet important touch and love the buttons. Hope you are feeling better. Hugs!

Beautiful warm fall colours! Paper piecing is one of my favourite techniques and does it ever look marvellous here! That is a gorgeously coloured image and looks great with the pumpkin paper pieced.
