I didn't have those exact colors - so I used Pool Party (the one SU color I had) a Tim Holtz Coredinations Walnut Stain for the lacey edge panel, and a Bo Bunny Harvest Dot for the leaves (the back side is plain red).
I used my new Sweet 'n Sassy leaf dies to cut my leaves - so easy peasy!! I stamped the sentiments from Autumn Bounty right on the leaves and added a little bling to accent them.
And I just had to share my little fanged pumpkins - I found the idea in the October 2011 Martha Stewart Magazine
Don't these just CRACK YOU UP!?!? Martha used little white pumpkins and red map pins - but all I could find right now were little orange pumpkins - I got the teeth at a seasonal Halloween shop - they were just 15 cents a set! I don't know how long they will last once you cut them but I'll be making more of these for sure!
We're celebrating my son Joshua's 34th birthday tonight and I'm going to have these little critters as the centerpiece on the table!

Hahaha! Julia, those pumpkins are so funny! That Martha!
I love your card, too - those leaves are really pretty!
Haha those pumpkins made me laugh! What a fangtastic idea lol! Gorgeous fall card too, those leaf die cuts are gorgeous!
Julia,
First, the pumpkins are adorable!!! I knew they were not the craft type (the cuts were too perfect!) - but this looks so easy that it would be do-able anyway! Pumpkins only last 1 day in Arizona once cut. :-(
The card is wonderful! I love how you stamped right on the leaves - and they add such dimension. Really nice work!
Hugs!
