Huge Pumpkins

This card is huge, I mean gigantic! It's 4 inches wide by 9 inches high, huge! When I saw the pumpkin topiary I knew a regular card wouldn't do it justice so....lol. I made this card for the challenge over at The Corrosive Challenge Blog that Doodle Pantry is sponsoring and the theme is flourishes, anyway, anyhow. I chose a paper flourish... finally. I first had a rhinestone flourish, didn't like it, then a couple of different paper ones and finally settled on this one with the help of my stamping buddy Glenda. Thank you so much Glenda! I've entered this into:

Paper: cajun craze, handsome hunter, whisper white, pumpkin pie, garden green

    What a wonderful dimensional card! It reminds me of "Jack and the Beanstalk"! Your sky is lovely and your topiary is beautiful!

    Oh Dawn I love this! The size is wonderful - what fun and I love the cloud background you created too. The flourish diecuts are a perfect finishing touch.

    Love the colors on this card - I had just printed this image out myself this morning to work on. The background of the sky really sets the topiary off.
