Week #31 in the Tea Room brings Nicole as our host and she has chosen this wonderful seasonal photo as inspiration for us to work with ...



... and Nicole asks us all to create a card or project inspired by the colors in this picture and/or to make sure you have a pumpkin somewhere in your design!

I LOVE pumpkins! (Probably because my husband's nickname for me is 'pumpkin', LOL). Thanks for the sweet challenge. I really have enjoyed looking at the DT samples and all the pumpkin crafted goodness everyone else submitted as well.

Vintage pumpkins is an awesome challenge and one I really enjoyed. The DTs' samples are totally inspiring. Sorry to get my entry in so late this week, but I've been away for the weekend with no internet access. Fortunately I arrived home in time to play!
