Tuesday is the day for mothermark's teapot challenge. Read her story here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I am helping find the bad apple - can you find it? I just don't think that is what Cindy had in mind! If you are already confused, go to the link above to see the details.
I also tried for today's color challenge, with much improvisation. I used my CB folder for the "dessert" of herringbone.
The sketch is here: http://www.trulyscrumptiouschallenges.blogspot.com/
I rarely make square cards; this one is 4.5 x 4.5. The colors here are also not my usual fall ones for this lovely set.

Hey Dorothy! Good to see you! Whoa, you brought some mighty fine apples there, not one bad apple in that bunch! Maybe we can use these as bait...you know bad apples like to hide along the good ones! What a great card...and I must say, you do square good.
Now follow me....I'll show you where not to step, what not to drink, who not to associate with, which gangs are the bad ones, and which pies were made with rotten apples! You know, the usual stuff!

One bad apple can spoil the basket as we all know. Glad you tossed it aside but don't let Bertie get it in her hands! Your sentiment is so true and goes with your image so nicely.

How delightful this little apple busshle looks. Very fun and soft colours. I do love the embossing folder too. Great to see you at the party Dorothy. Did you taste the apple martinis yet...just follow the big blue tree or the trail of green apples! TFS
