This card is for a couple of challenges. It is for today's Limited Supplies Challenge(LSC23. We are to use spooky colors; although, we do not have to use them in a spooky way. This challenge was just in line with Charmaine's Verve Color Challenge(SEP09B)! Charmaine is challenging us to use teal, burnt orange, olive, and deep purple. Thanks for the fab challenges Jeanne and Charmaine!
I stamped everything you see. No dp was used in the making of this card. I would like to say I used a BUTTON!!! So proud as I have a hard time with this embellishement. I used ribbon, gold pearls, button, and punches as my four embellishments.

What a gorgeous card, Betty! I love the colors and your wonderful bg. I adore bgs you make yourself and this one is perfect and has so much depth. I really like the nestie shaped panel, too.

One for my favourites, for sure. I just love the blue along with the greens and oranges, and your ribbon embellishment. Not being hugely into Halloween I am extra-enjoying the few non-Halloween cards showing up today.
