LIM: Polka Dots!!!

Well, I just have to say that the challenge over at Less Is More this week makes me so very happy!!! The challenge is to make a CAS style card featuring polka dots!!! Good gravy do polka dots make me smile! They brighten my day! I love them!

Yes. I tend to be over enthusiastic about crafting. It's NOT a problem. And I won't be working on it in the near future! ;D

So, being so close to Halloween, I figured that pumpkins were in order! And what is cuter than a polka dot pumpkin?! Now, while making these cards, I came to TRULY understand that less really IS more! You'll see what I mean in a bit...

Here's my first card~

Yeah. It's ok, but that's about all. Adding those swirly leaves kinda ruined the card in my opinion. And the sentiment just makes the bottom look kinda cluttered...

So, I decided to use the same pumpkin and try again! It worked out marvelously this time!!!

Here's the second one~
Oh, so much better! The placement is better! This card made me MUCH happier than the first! And, see! Less IS more! :) I outlined each pumpkin and the leaves with a clear glitter gel pen, but I couldn't get a very good picture of it...take it on faith, please! ;D

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek! I appreciate your continued support of my crafts! I really hope that you are inspired to play along with us at LIM! It's totally fun! Happy stamping! :)
