Can you tell that sometimes Dream Team's "Fearless Leader", Pam Hornschu, has a hard time deciding on monthly challenges? Since the team will be taking turns all month with the Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween, and we are doing a Christmas collaboration with Stampendous and Core'dinations the 13th - 17th, the confusion should be understandable. Therefore...happy HallowThanksMas! As usual, we'd love for you to play along with the challenge and link your creations to the Inlinkz tool on the Dream It Up! blog. Just in case you are wondering...NO, YOU DO NOT NEED TO POST SOMETHING WITH ALL THREE HOLIDAYS ON IT!

When dry, I cut it out using the Dreamweaver Nested Frames, and matted it on a green frame as well. I used the new Dual Alphabet Dies to cut letters for the word "fall" from the same gauze paper, and adhered these over the Hexagon embossed green panel, along with a stamped "happy" from a Stampendous clear set. A little ink-distressing, some fun plaid paper, and a stick finished off this fun Fall card!
changing several colors, I had added a couple of drops each of the
