Alternative Paper Pumpkin Craft

Here’s an alternative Paper Pumpkin craft project I made using supplies from the 2016 May Paper Pumpkin Craft Kit.

I’m back for another Christmas Card Sunday.  This week I’m featuring the Embellished Ornaments stamp set, which you can pick up in wood mount or clear mount.   You’ll notice I didn’t even use one of the ornament designs on this card, but instead opted to keep it pretty simple.
