For my Challenge! Create a card based off of one of the top 100 April Fools Pranks of all time. I chose #87 - April 1, 1950: Motorists driving along the scenic Rim of the World highway near Lake Arrowhead in Southern California encountered something remarkable. All the pine and cedar trees lining the road had grown oranges overnight. The transformation turned out to be the work of the residents of the nearby town of Skyforest, led by the cartoonist Frank Adams. They had crept out during the night and strung 50,000 oranges in the trees along a one-mile section of the highway. The fruit was left over from the recent National Orange Show in San Bernardino.
Hahahahhaahaa! Made for a decent Christmas card at least!

Shannon,
what a wonderful hoax that was and I can't believe how those people work so fast to string 50,000 oranges! Your card is an excellent take on the hoax I love the sparkling oranges in the trees!
