celebrate fall

I think fall has finally arrived here in Minneapolis and I have to admit this is my favorite season. The trees in our yard are just starting to turn beautiful shades of yellow, orange and brown. We even turned on the heat for the first time this season.

Here is a little card I created using a stamp by Mo' Manning and I thought it was just perfect to showcase here today.

I colored the image with Copics and used papers and enamel dots by My Minds Eye.
