The Flower Challenge #97

Ahhhh November!  Not my favorite of months but Fall is beautiful in Michigan, so I embrace that and its colors!  OH and I can begin to savor the flavors of Fall and the time for Thanks-giving, too - those are both reasons to celebrate!  

Welcome to The Flower Challenge #97 where we are looking for an abundance of thanks in our gallery for November!
When it comes to Fall, I can always count on the Coleus I add to my porch pots each year to keep the color around through the month ... they could be what inspired these leaves ...
 

Remember this curry-colored thanks [a very old MFT die set] - you'll be seeing 
the 'leftover' on my reminder card!  
The little flower is one of those minis from Altenew - I love
that they offer dies for them, too!  Cost effective and just plain cute!
I added an embossed panel to my card front - either gifted or borrowed not sure but I'm sure it was just the ticket to add some wonderful texture to my card!

Now it's time for YOU to share your thank you cards with us - I know I'm thankful when you play along and for the friendship and talent shared by my TFC teammates!  You have to check out their inspiration HERE - always spectacular!

  15. That "old" thanks die is just as beautiful as when it first came out and looks so pretty anchored with the cute flowers and coleus colored dies. It's wonderful to have those plant that still being color as the flowers fade in fall. Gorgeous card, Michele!
