Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios - Pumpkin Patch

It is still feeling like summer here in Northern California with the temperatures hovering in the high 90s. According to the weather forecast, the weather will change this week and will dip down into the low 70s by the end of the week. With the cooler weather, I'm ready to make that trip to the pumpkin patch to buy some pumpkins and gourds to decorate for Halloween and Thanksgiving. I'll have to bring my wagon just like this little girl in this cute digital stamp called Pumpkin Patch by Rachelle Anne Miller. This is such an adorable stamp with a little squirrel sitting on top of the pumpkins. This is a great stamp to use for fall, birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, thank-you, and note cards. 

Listed below are the supplies and instructions for this 6" x 6" card. It's a very quick and easy card and you can use any patterned paper and embellishments you have.
