Our sponsor for September is

  Delicious Doodles

 

"Delicious Doodles is a young company with myself, Teri as the Sole Trader/Designer.  I have doodled and sketched all my life.  I started making greeting cards when my last child was born,  and used my doodles on them as I couldn't find what I wanted in the usual craft places.  I only started selling my images in the Autumn of 2009.

I design and hand/mouse-draw all of the images that are sold in the Delicious Doodles Shop. Some are cutsie animals, some are sketched flowers, there are a few men's images, fairies and also some 'darker' images featuring vampires, skulls and Gothic stuff, something for everyone!"

You are sure to find the perfect image for the challenge in the Delicious Doodles Shop

Here is what I came up with

Here is a close up of the image

Isn't she lovely.  This is Katrina, a digi stamp by Delicious Doodles.  The background is one of the papers from a pack called Baby it's cold outside, available at Stitchy Bear Stamps. The swirls and poinsettia are made using Spellbinders Dies.

Pumpkins aren't on sale in my area as yet, so I went with a pumpkin image instead
