Help! What can I add to these to make them better, wanted to use an unusual bg so I used this, but feel it needs some help..... I thought about something that looked like a corn stalk but didn't know how to make it with raffia. Any suggestions welcome! TFL!

What a cool background! I can't help you with the cornstalk...but what might make the pumpkins "Pop" a bit is to ink around the edges of the punches to give them definition?
Beautiful card though...just as it is!

These are cute. I think if you added some ink to the edges of the punched shapes, it may give the pumpkin curves a little more definition. For the corn stalks, couldn't you tie together several long pieces of raffia near the top with a piece of raffia, and sort of fan out the bottom part? Hope that makes sense.

Leave it. This ATC has good balance, the colors are perfect, and any more added to it would be overkill.
I am curious as to why I see so many of these ATC's photographed in a group? To me, that makes the whole card kind of fade into a murky background.
I like the details on the edges-that's cool! Andi

Love these punched pumpkins and your great bg! maybe a little green or brown gingham bow attached on the stems - or a sentiment like Happy Fall - or Pumpkin Patch - stamped on a punched oval and attached over the pumpkins?? just a couple of thoughts!
