Calendar Challenge October

The colour for this month Craft Barn challenge is orange and the word Pumpkin or fruit.
Orange, the dominant colour of Autumn, amongst the lovely shades of green yellow and Brown of the Fallen leaves.... and part of the colour scheme of the Rubber Dance challenge this month!

But I didn't go for the pumpkin(s) as I have no pumpkin stamps... I do, however, have a  Pear-fect fruit stamp from Rubber Dance which cried out to be coloured in pencils.


Behind the pears I stencilled a Cornucopia motif from an old book of stencils [1]. I chose it as the Cornucopia has been associated to Thanksgiving in the US and harvest time in general, so appropriate for an autumn page.

Thanks for coming by,

[1] This is the book that Chrissie from Jumbled Craft got as a bargain. She has a pic of said book in this post if you're curious...

    The pears look far more inviting to eat than the one on my tag! Fabulous colouring and another beautiful page for your calendar.
