The Sugar Bowl–Challenge 68–Kiki’s Sketch

Yes, it is officially autumn now…..

(although here in Scotland, it’s felt like it for around two months already!)

So over at The Sugar Bowl, we have a very appropriate theme to go with Kiki’s fabulous sketch which is', of course, Autumn.

I have a ‘go to’ stack of papers whenever the topic of Autumn crops up, and it is this one from DCWV!

This is very much ‘my’ colour palette, as I do love the rich tones of the greens and oranges!

I may also have just found my perfect ‘go to’ stamp also….but not just for autumn, I think you could use this little beauty for just about any occasion….she is such a cutie!

And as for those stripe socks…..I think I want me some of those!

Actually, with the temperatures here at the moment, that should read ‘need’ me some of those….

As always, I ask that you drop by my Sweeties blogs as they always do such a fantastic job for me but, I think they have excelled themselves this time! Everybody grabbed the theme and ran with it, and I am forever grateful to them!

Thank you Sweeties, and thanks to you too, for stopping by…..

Love the colouring of her wings - so soft & picking up the dark version in the flowers. Lovely that. I am finding I will have to NEED these little ladies..........seriously suffering Sugar Bowl withdrawal; building work almost done & hopefully next year might be a builder free one!!
Thanks again for all you do.
