It's Teapotter Tickle time in the old pumpkin patch!! I'm bringing tractor loads full for this festival. IRL, I could also bring tractor loads to the fest. DH thinks he needs to plant 300 hills or more of pumpkins each year...............SHEESH!! I stamped my image in Momento Black, colored with my Spectrum Noirs, matted on Really Rust & Elegant Eggplant. I popped that up over my DP pieces. I wrapped some twine around my verticle dp piece. I stamped my sentiment and popped up the 2nd half of it for a bit more dimension. Oh I just wonder where these pumpkins will be going????? TFL ladies.

Great card, Mary! Like the wagon load of pumpkins and the chicken in charge. Hee! Great fall papers, too. 300 Hills? Now, that yields a lot of pumpkins. Do you sell them--like a pick your own pumpkin patch or ??? So curious. Don't forget to give us a recipe cause I'll bet with that many pumpkins you cook with them. Thanks for participating in the challenge today!

Oh gosh, I have that set and I don't think I even remembered that it contained pumpkins, I've mostly used the sunflowers and the corn. What a darling card, Mary - and perfect autumn colours in the background, too.

Love this card Mary. Great image, and wonderful DPs.
I have to ask -- do you sell the pumpkins? I can't imagine anyone wanting more than a few vines for their own use.

Answers to all of your questions to my DH's pumpkin madness. We let the grandkids pick out their pumpkins first, then our DD's go next, if I'm lucky I can pick 3rd. Then the rest all go up for sale in our yard. Help yourself, money deposited in the tin. It's a trust issue between us and the buyers. DH plants different varieties every year. We never had the best luck with the white pumpkins, so we don't plant them anymore. I would like him to plant a pie variety next year. So now that you know how many pumpkins he plants, you don't want to know how much squash and gourds he plants as well.........................He gives some of the profits to our DGD & DGS. DGD is 11 and is obsessed with the sales; you should know she is a real shark at Monopoly too
