Autumn Thanks

Hello friends!  It's a beautiful autumn day here.  I hope it is beautiful where you are.

Today I have a fun card for the challenge over at Mo's Digital Challenge Blog.  If you have been here before you know that I love Mo's images and I try to play along with the challenges over there every week.  This week I was inspired by the autumnal weather starting to creep into town so I chose Punkin.  I used him about a year ago and he has patiently been waiting to appear on another card.  So here he is:
 I colored him with my Prismacolor pencils.  For some reason I love coloring pumpkins.  I think I used 9 colors.  So much fun!
 And here's my card.  I used the great sketch over at Sketchy Colors.  I simply turned it 180 degrees so my fence die would fit in there!  And as I am looking at my card I am realizing the only thing I used that came off a spool was the pearl cotton for sewing on the buttons.  Over at Ribbon Carousel they want to see fall colors this week.  Sheesh...you think I could have thrown some ribbon in there somewhere!  For my dies and punches I used the woodgrain fence from MFT, mushroom border from CC Designs and a scalloped border from Fiskars.
 Here's the inside.  I added a simple "thanks" from PTI.  My DP is from Basic Grey.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Mo's - Dies/Punches
Ribbon Carousel - Autumn Colors (I only used pearl cotton this week.  If that doesn't count for your challenge I certainly understand!)
Sketchy Colors - Sketch
Papertake - Autumn
Stamp n Doodle - Anything
I Brake for Challenges - Use a Digi (my 2nd entry for the month)
The Paper Shelter - Autumn/Fall
Divas by Design - Lovely Layers (I counted 14 just on the front!)
Inspired By - Photo Inspiration
My Heart Pieces - Anything
Frilly and Funky - Autumn Colors

I think that's about it.  Thanks for taking a peek!

Blessings & Hugs
