I've been going through my neglected paper pads recently and found a half-used Bo Bunny Autumn themed pad. It was filled with little snippets of paper left over from previous projects, so I used some dark brown card stock and a mustard-colored card base to put this together. The image is by Gerda Stein and I stamped it with Antique linen ink, then outlined the edges with a fine dark brown marker, and colored the rest of it with Copics. I put a little pumpkin in his hands and made this a Thanksgiving card, tying some rust-colored twine around the image panel just for fun.

Also sharing with the Snippets Playground challenge #385 - which is always to use your snippets
Thanks for stopping by as always and I hope you are all coping with the ways of our world these days. Me; not so much.

That little mouse sure is super cute! I have a lot of neglected paper pads too, but not much inspiration to do anything with them. Life has certainly been a challenge here too. I'll be thinking of you. ~Nancy
He is such a cutie patootie Carol! Love the wonderful Fall feel to this with your snippets of Autumn papers! They fit wonderfully on your block design!! TFS! HUGS
So cute and I love those papers.
This is just adorable, darling image and like your sentiment and lovely patterned papers! Hope all is well with you!
He's rather cute and before I read your post I assumed he came complete with the pumpkin... absolutely awesome job adding the pumpkin into the image, genius. It's definitely getting more Autumnal here as the days shorten, I must admit to being a sucker for the cosy dark nights :) x
Too cute!! Love the way you did the twine around the image. I have some of that paper too! I really need to find my MOJO and get back to making cards fall will be here before we know it!
Super adorable card, Carol! Love the added pumpkin! Perfect sentiment and great papers equals a wonderful Thanksgiving card! TFS Hope you had a nice weekend!
Cute card, Carol. Great use of your papers.
I have so many of those half used paper pads. You would think I would use them up before I would have purchased more? Well, I am getting better at that!
What a great idea with wonderful design to use up your papers! A beautiful Thanksgiving card!!
Awww the cutest of cute...hugs
A sweet card Carol, a cute image and lovely Autumn colours.

What an adorable Thanksgiving card Carol! I love how you came across those snippets, they are lovely and have new life on this card. No one would have been none the wiser either. That image is just as cute as he can be, love that you added a pumpkin to him. Love this one! Hugs, Brenda

Here the sun shines and I still wear flip flops, so I can't enter in autumnal mood, but your card is so cute and sweet, LOVE that cute mouse and the matching patterned papers you used! :D Clever idea using a marker to outline the edges of the mouse! The twine finishes the card perfectly!
The world isn't so much a good place, in these days. But hope for a revolution :D
Hugs
