PTI's November Blog Hop ~ Give Thanks

Hello ~  I'm playing along with PTI's November Blog Hop.  This is the inspiration photo:

And this is my card:
 I was inspired by the plaid napkin on the plate and created my own plaid using a piece of Fine Linen ChickenScratch paper and adding my own colored lines using Plaid Builder.  The colors of the the bird and flowers are seen on the chair wrap.  The bird, flowers and leaves are from the Give Love stamp set.  I'm in love with this set!    The pumpkin and sentiment from Autumn Pumpkins are both embossed in gold.

You can find all the details and join in on the fun HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!

I like how the gold embossing stands out on the pumpkin and the purple flower is the center of attention (love that color). This is so pretty with that plaid being such a perfect take from your inspiration photo.
