I originally made this card for the stampinb challenge #27. Lois aka Clownmom challenged us to make a gatefold with a flower. I just finished it tonight and saw the Inspiration challenge
and found the card was perfect for it, also. Didn't really have time to do the IC....but, here I am. LOL http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php...ng_id=27579430 How could I resist when I saw that glass art wall pendant (Mr. Nutterbutter Squirrel)?
On the inside I used a stamp that I really love for Autumn and sponged a few clouds at the top. Hope you like it!

Now, that squirrel is the perfect image for fall! My DD lives in an almond orchard, and they recently harvested the nuts. There's lots of squirrels gleening what's left on the ground!! They have to put up stores for the winter, you know!! I love that dp you used, too!! I think this gatefold card for StampinB's Challenge will be my next project. Thanks for the inspiration!!

How wonderful that dp is with the coppery metallic pieces.....a great match for the inspiration piece, and so is your cute squirrel.

Pretty card - great fall feel. Isn't it great when you can do several challenges with one card!
I love cards with this fold and that flower is awesome!

Beautiful gatefold card. I had to favorite it because my brother loves squirrels and I try to make him squirrel cards sometimes. I love the foiled dp in the background. It adds a beautiful gleam!
