OCC Challenge - Happy Fall Y'all !!!!

Hello OCC friends! Thanks to all of you who stopped by and played along with us last week, all of your samples were so inspiring!!

Since Labor Day marked the end of summer, we thought we would challenge you to make a Fall/Autumn card this week. You can interpret this any way you like, but some ideas are to use fall colors like browns, oranges, and reds - you could also incorporate pumpkins, leaves, acorns, etc.

Before we show you this week's samples, we would like to announce the winner for the Stampin' Up! goodies. Congratulations to Julie S, please email us your addy so we can get your goodies out to you.

To start us out, here is our September hostess - Dana Grothaus sample:

This months challenges are hosted by Dana Grothaus. Dana thought it would be fitting to have a challenge using Stars & Stripes. Your card can be patriotic if you like, but it's not necessary.
