    Pumpkins


    Hello! Today I have another new digi from Beccy's Place to share with you! It's called the pumpkin set. Well I actually combined 2 different digis to come up with mine. I printed the pumpkins out plain and as the jack-o-lanterns and then cut out the center jack-o-lantern and popped it up on the center of the plain pumpkins! I wish i could get my shading so well in all my coloring, i find pumpkins so much fun to color and very easy to show depth/shading. My diecut edge is a negative scrap piece left over from a scalloped diecut, no waste! Thanks for taking the time to stop by, love reading your comments. Have a great day!
