Pumpkin time?

Day 213 on 365 cards on Tuesday was 'In Pieces': 'We have done a paper piecing challenge before, but this one is specific. If you complete this challenge, you must use this image:



It seemed at first as if we were being asked to make a halloween card - and I don't hold with halloween, so I thought I couldn't take part. However, when I asked I was kindly told: 'If you wish to use only part of the image - for example, just the pumpkin body, that's just fine :) If you don't celebrate Halloween, it's not a requirement, just an idea for those who do.'

So I incorporated the image into a card, together with my autumn ATC that I did for the 'ribbon' swap on BF.


I'm editing this because I've just found the new monthly challenge blog 'By the cute and girly' with 'autumn glory' as the first topic, so I'm linking this card there as it was made after the challenge was launched.

You can see here how I put the ATC together. The background of this card is K & Co Brookfield paper. The pumpkin was coloured with various shades on copics orange - which is just right for today's challenge 13 on Copic Creations: colouring a pumpkin.



This is another entry for 'shades of autumn' on Ooh-la-la 37, also for challenge 35 on Crafty Creations: leaves/autumn theme, another one for Allsorts 20: autumn days, another one for If the Shoe Fits ... Fashionista challenge 4: fall themed - it must contain leaves.
