This photo is actually a bunch of challenges consolidated into one.
I started out with WCMDFS08 where I really liked this card of Sherry's (USC5 Giggle by SherryLC05 at Splitcoaststampers. So I pulled out my Falling for You set from MFT since that's my only tree image. And then I saw that Sherry did paper piecing on hers so I went ahead and did some on mine with my headless lady, the pile of leaves she's in, and the pumpkins (which meant that I could submit it for MFGD11). And then... I saw the inspiration piece WCMDIC08 and I went gee, that would be perfect for my colors! And then I saw that there was a tree challenge... Hello! Okay, I didn't mean to consolidate so many... but it worked out for me. :-) I did spend a considerable amount of time cutting out the lady and the darn pumpkins if that makes up for it. ;-)
I loved Sherry's ribbon treatment so I used that and I also loved her layout so I used that but did a mirror image! If you haven't had a chance to check out her gallery (SherryLC05's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers, I highly recommend it!
Other deets:
Paper pieced the pumpkins, pumpkin stems, Leaf pile, sleeves, sleeve collar, pants. Stamped the tree multiple times to give it a forest and a dimensional effect. The leaves and the trunk of the back trees are colored lighter than the front. Created my own patterned paper" with the leaves on the kraft. The tree is on a pop dot and then the leaf file is on an additional pop dot.
Thanks for all the great challenges!

Wow, what a lot of challenges to combine! You did a great job. Love the paper piecing for the lady in the leaf pile. Love you hung her off the edge. Fun card!
