This is for three challenges this week...the Inspiration Challenge, the Color Challenge, and the Twisted Sistah Challenge(never played in this one before, but my buddy "Blooms" invited me). Boy, oh, boy...I was really quite proud of myself working my card into three challenges then it hit me....the TSC is a CAS card with a EF and a pearl. I thought it was a button..darn it. Also, I just can't seem to CAS anything...lol. Sooo, I am guessing I am not qualifying for that challenge after all, but I did try Pat, I promise! The Inspiration Challenge was a sweet little children's clothing shop. This was my inspiration http://www.etsy.com/listing/109479829/girls-lion-dress. The lion's head reminded me of a circular card so that is what I did. The color challenge was also fun using Midnight Muse, Cajun Craze, and Pumpkin Pie with a dessert of Thanks(giving). Check. Anyways, thanks so much for these wonderful challenges and thanks for 'viting me to play along with the Twisted Sistah's Pat! I imagine I am gonna get some razzin' about my "CAS card with a pearl"....lol!

Yikes, this circular Thanksgiving card looks amazing! I love what you did with the colors and your banner is super sweet with the sentiment and then there's all the lovely dimension and perfect coloring! Stunning.....

With all the embossing, Die cut nesties, and gorgeous bow framing this BEE-YOU-TI-FUL, it was hard, but I found this little white pearl button down at the bottom to qualify you for the Twisted Sistah Challenge - If I can "pretend" emboss my teacup, you can use a pearl button, you little Cheetah!!
Joking aside, I am so impressed with the way you worked those colors together into this awesomely colored card -and a circle card at that!! Now may I come and sit in your beautiful garden in the background and have a cup of tea in my embossed cup with ya?? You can stay in Jammertown if you want - It's where the best cards evah are made!!! This one is OVER THE TOP!
Hugs!!
