Cloud 9 Blog Hop-October

It's October at Cloud 9 and the theme is Halloween! This great inspiration photo has so many elements that it's easy to find something to get your mojo working. 
All those pumpkins made my think of Pretty Patches: Pumpkin. For colors I chose Oatmeal, Fine Linen, black and, of course, orange. The crow was stamped, embossed in clear and fussy cut. The 'boo' fit perfectly over the hearts on the pumpkins!
Check out the fabulous samples by the design team HERE. The contest is open for three days so there is still plenty of time to enter. All the rules can be found on the Cloud 9 link.

It's hard to believe Halloween is just around the corner. I don't decorate but there are quite a few in our neighborhood that really go all out. I'm content to just do cards and a few goodies for the grandkids. 

Thanks so much for dropping by and enjoy the hop,
Sharron

This is really great. I love how you wrote the word boo on the pumpkins, and that crow is fantastic.

You have the perfect crow stamp, Sharron! I love how you perched it on the pumpkins and so cleverly covered up the hearts with the letters. Such a fun take on the photo!

Oh, just love your pumpkins. This is what I wanted to do first, but it just didn`t work... But you finished your card gorgeously.

Oh I just love this, Sharron! You created such a cute little pumpkin patch - adding the letters to the pumpkins was a great idea. The crow is a fabulous addition, too! So glad you were able to join our Cloud9 Blog Hop this month!
