I decided to take a break today from making fall cards, although since it's only October, I'm sure there are quite a few more in my future The color challenge is just perfect for a cowboy card, Cajun Craze is the perfect color for horses (and squirrels!), anywho, I didn't have Soft Suede, so I pulled out the old Close to Cocoa, although the cowboy's jacket is colored in SS. My cowboy needed an embossed leather bg (ok, that was me that needed it!) andI added a bit of wood plank made with the MFT Western Backgrounds set. For dessert I added a lasso instead of a bow and a couple pieces of retired SU hardware.

I love your card!!! The cajun is so effective the way you used it. The embossing is awesome - it gives the feeling of leather. I love the way you used the twine too. Terrific job!!
