Autumn Pumpkins

Evening peeps

I have just got home after a long and eventful day at work.  We had a magpie problem in the shop today, twice he decided he was going to have a look around.  The first time we managed to get him to fly back out, but the second, he decided he wasn't going anywhere.  I eventually managed to catch him and put him back outside.  I am so glad that I put thick gloves on, he wouldn't stop pecking me.


Anyway, I made an autumn themed card this morning before I went to work.  The digital stamp is called Fall Pumpkin Trio from Bugaboo Stamps and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.
