You're a blessing to me fall mice with pumpkin

Hello all and I'd like to wish a very happy birthday to my oldest granddaughter! What a lovely couple of days we have had here in the Pacific Northwest these past few days! Beautiful fall days, gorgeous sunsets and a wonderful night sky with the moon in first quarter phase. I have been loving every minute of this weather! It's definitely my favorite time of the year.

But enough about that, let's get to our project for today. I have used the Stampin' Hot Foil system and the buffalo check hot foil die to make the background setting for my scene. I'm loving this particular background die and the foil! It adds such a WOW! factor to your projects. I wanted to make a cute fall card with the Christmas Mice and Painted Pumpkins bundles. I took a card sketch, modified it slightly and came up with this card. I do love how it turned out. Although, I did use quite a bit of different products all together, I think it's definitely a unique card. The layout sketch is an easy one to follow, I hope you'll give it a try.
