Pumpkin Picking Scarecrow

Well, it is definitely fall, and it's nearly Halloween....and there are so many beautiful images out there!  This is the first year I've ever made a Halloween card...but how can you resist....

This card uses the image and sketch from the current DZ Doodles challenge over at PCP.  Be sure to check them out, as you still have until the 15th to enter, and for a limited time this digi is a freebie!

Now, it goes without saying that I can enter into a number of other challenges with these colours and this theme, and you will find those links below.

But first, a few details I would like to point out....if you've noticed, I've embossed the background paper, inking it with black distress ink.  A few oak leaves have also been added, after being cut on my Silhouette and coloured with fall colours.  The image has been done with Prismas, then hand cut leaving part of the background.  My intention here was to create a semblance of a harvest moon.  I think it works...  The sentiment is simply a halloween sticker, attached to cardstock.
