I'm so happy to be playing in a challenge. It's been a month or so due to being busy with DTGD and a trip.
I can't do too many tasks at once. HA I guess Autumn is on my mind, though I love summer.
The Fitbit blog is our inspiration today.
Michelle Masters is the designer of this pretty topiary stamp. She calls it Acorn.
The pumpkins really jumped out at me. They are so healthy with the flesh being full of fiber, vitamins and minerals. It is also thought the compound that gives the orange color fights off cancer and heart disease.
Use the puree in soups, breads, and muffins. I googled and read about their health benefits and there are plenty.
My image is watercolored with Tim Holtz stains and distress markers. I sponged around the image and added Glossy Accents to the berries. I am needing some upcoming autumn birthday cards so that explains the sentiment.

Your card is so pretty, Brenda! Fall is my fave time of year. I love looking at pumpkins but have never been a fan of eating them. I even make pumpkin pies for everyone else, but never eat them, lol. I think it's a texture thing.

Beautiful card! Gorgeous, soft background. I had no idea pumpkin was such a healthy food - no wonder our squirrels eat the ones we put out for decoration each year.
