Love to Adore “Thanks for everything” card

I woke up in the middle of the night and had this card in my head.  I grabbed some paper, ink and ribbon and started to create.  I love how it turned out and it was so easy.  I love using pinks and browns together.  1121111101-00

Fasten together with a brad.  One right-side up and one wrong-side up.
Hold the top brad and pull each piece of paper away from each other…it will start forming a ball (pumpkin).
