Greetings!
You know, I didn't think I needed the Pick of the Patch bundle until I saw a couple cards my friend Dawn made, one of them featuring the crow, and it was then that I fell off the fence onto the side of "I gotta have this set!". I don't even really like crows - they're noisy - and are somewhat mean to other birds and small creatures so I can't even tell you why that was the deciding factor. It just was! You now have a glimpse into the inner workings of my mind - scary, huh! 😄
This bundle really is a great bundle. Lots of cute shapes for pumpkins, gourds, and squash, as well as all the accoutrements to go with them so you can deck out your card for your fall holidays. The punch that's part of this bundle punches out two different sized and shaped pumpkins as well as the stem and leaf, so it makes it super easy to make cards quickly. When you pair this bundle with the fun printed panels which are part of the Them Bones Designer Series Papers (DSP) you can make whimsical Halloween cards in a snap!
These papers are gorgeous with the lovely dusk type hues to the background, which really help to highlight the tombstones and give it the spooky vibe. With a 12 x 12 sheet with 3 tombstone scenes one each opposing end, you can get six adorable cards out of each sheet of DSP.
Notice the little bats and the ghost - in case you missed it in the catalog or while shopping online, they glow in the dark! How cool is that!
Where's the crow, you ask. He's on the inside, so scroll down to find him. 😀
