This card is way out of my box in so many ways! I am a slow stamper, so I don't normally like to do time consuming cards. All the masking was really time consuming for me.
Oh and I was having trouble getting the pumpkins the way I wanted... so I did the unthinkable! I cut off the swirly vines and dots off the pumpkin from Fall Whimsy! Gasp! It was a small internal struggle - but eventually they just had to go.
I don't normally do challenges, but I love halloween cards, so when I saw the challenge I thought of the pig from Walk this Way - I love that pig!
Also unusual for me is doing anything other than a standard A2 card. The tent topper was a challenge. I stamped my scene first, and it was hard to make it work on a smaller card, so it is still an A2 plus the tent topper, so I'd have to mail it in a bigger envelope.
This card uses 4 different sets from three different companies! SU, TAC, and CTMH! I left off any embellishments to fit in with the "limited" part of the challenge.

OMG, Cindy! A lot of work, but it turned out spectacular!!! Kaylie is standing here with me, and we're just loving it!!! We were so focused on the picture, that we didn't even realize you did it as a tent topper until I read your description! Way to go! Great job!

This is SO cute! LOVE the scene, reminds me of Charlotte's web a bit. I think it's great that you took the swirls off the pumpkins, I think it'd be too cluttery with them. Love the tent topper layout too!! The time you put into it paid off!
