Happy Belated Thanksgiving Wishes

I actually made a couple cards (on time), got them mailed (possibly not on time), and then totally neglected to post it and send my wishes to all you wonderful friends!  So sorry, I hope to grow up and be better soon...  Meanwhile, I better get this posted at least while it's still Thanksgiving weekend!!!

I must admit, you might have to use a little creative imagination to get this card.  I wanted a pumpkin, which i didn't have so I used the closest thing I had (well kinda...)!  Here she goes, remember to freely use your imagination!


Do you get it?  Well, here's my story:  I really fell in love with this card from Sandie, I just really loved the white and kraft, and the simplicity of the whole thing! It just spoke to me the day I saw it.  So here's to you, Sandie!  Like I said, I didn't have a pumpkin, so I used SSS Single Roses dies to emboss a "pumpkin" and add some leaves for a pop of color.  Hindsight I think the embossed background distracts a little, and definitely defeats the "simplicity" factor, but I was trying to go for a quilted warmth.  I also think my photo isn't the clearest either!  Sorry!  Here's a clearer close-up:


I did want to say that I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and you're resuming life after the "stuffing"!  Thanks for popping in!

ETA:  I've been invited to join in at the latest Time Out challenge by the very sweet Sandie, so here goes!  Thanks, Sandie!!!

Hugs,
TK

So clever, TK ... that die makes a perfect pumpkin ... and the delicate leaves are a fabulous addition! The background quilting is yummy too ... cosy, warm and delicious for the season! So delighted you took Sandie up and played along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)
