Is it a whirly bird? – whirly gig? whirly something…. Today I have a sneak peek to show you of the set "Autumn Fun" Mark’s Finest Papers will release in September. I know these little twirly things come off the Maple tree, but I live around cactus, so please forgive me for not knowing the right term~ Whatever they are called, they are a wonderful way to say FALL!
I sponged the square backdrop using the negative cutout from the Spellbinders Nestabilites Squares. Stamped the image with Palette Nior ink. The DP is from a Stampin Up collection called Autumn Memories that is now retired. The base is Desert Tan from MFP.
OK! I did a google search and these are Maple seed pods, aka. whirlybirds!

Love, love, love the "whirly gig" I played with them as a young girl all the time. It and acorns are my most favourite things. Is the whirly gig stamp also available at Davids???
Thanks for sharing
