Well, I'm definitely into fall this weekend (my favorite season) and am thinking of (and working on) Halloween. I have done so many cards since Thursday night that I'm doing two posts today because I can't wait to share them. :-D
This one uses a fabulous, fun image from QKR Stampede. They have a 2 week long blog hop and their challenge is an Anything Goes but you have to use either a QKR Stampede image or a Eureka Stamps image this time.
I used ProMarkers to color the image, then die cut it and the two mats (one from dp and one from CS) with octagon dies from QuicKutz. I love browns and oranges for fall cards and especially for Halloween cards. They reflect the fall colors we find in nature and tell us there's a quiet end of summer coming. That makes me so happy because the hot summer weather is over finally! :-D
The background dp is embossed and glittered, and both dp are from DCWV, but they've been in my stash longer than I care to admit. The ribbon came from Joann.com. Sentiment was printed with a computer font and matted with brown CS. The bow is one of the ones I make by hand.

I used Sketch #216 from Sketch Saturday.
My stitched ribbon substitutes for the stars in the sketch.

Love your card and the BIG pumpkin. I'm the same way. I have so many cards I want to share and trying not to post too many each day. Don't even have the time to find a challenge to put them in. BUT...my goal is to enjoy making them above all else...just like you. I'm still a summer gal, but Halloween and Fall do have lovely and fun colors.
