Sweet Treats with Meljen's

Hello my friends!
Hope you are all having a great week.  Yesterday I woke up to rain!!!  I guess summer is heading out the door and Fall is just around the corner.  With October now here, that means Halloween is just around the corner.  Hopefully we'll get to enjoy this month because to me September went by so fast!!!  It might be a challenge, cause it seems like this year is just flying by so fast!!!

For my card I used the really adorable Cute Little Candy Corn image. 

Doesn't this image make you smile?  I love objects that have cute faces, makes me smile.  As you can see I kept it really simple.  I used circle Spellbinders to cut them out, another circle in orange and using kraft cardstock I cut out the lacy scallop.  For the background I thought I would go simple and match the colors of the candy corn.  So using strips of yellow, orange and white I glued them together then used a swirls Cuttlebug folder and dry-embossed it.  Mounted it on dark brown cardstock and added a sheer dark brown ribbon.  After coloring the cute candy corn up (I colored one using the original colors and the other in the Indian candy corn colors) I stickled the swirls and dots surrounding them.  Sorry that you can't really see all the sparkles, but believe me it's there.  (hehe)  And what's that I see?  Another AmyR sentiment?  Yep, not just one, but two from the same stamp set.  It was perfect for my card.  :)

Now that you've seen my share, be sure to head on over to the Lollipop Crafts blog to see the rest of the T-Team's Halloween inspirations featuring our sponsor Meljen's Designs.  We hope you can join in on the Halloween fun!!
