Looking at pinterest the other day I was seeing a lot of pumpkins made by placing 3 oval dies together and I have seen this for years but hadn't given it a try, or if I have I don't remember, guess there is one good thing about getting older you feel your trying something new if it has been long enough time :)
I cut the ovals, embossed them in my crackle embossing folder and then shaded them with some orange ink, cut a little stem myself.

Such a pretty card! I love the pumpkin and the texture of it. Great job!
Oh, gosh, I remember this pumpkin technique and I've never tried it, either. I do have the punches and I know it's super easy. It looks so great! Very cool with the embossing. Love the papers and layout. You made a really pretty fall card, Connie!
What a fabulous technique, Connie. The texture of the pumpkin is very cool. Isn't it fun getting older and throwing caution to the wind. =)
Great card not tried this technique but love your result.
Connie, I love your theory about getting old, forgetting, and seeing older things as new! Great sense of humor and a good idea for older people like me! LOL. Now, that pumpkin is awesome. When I first looked at it I thought it must be part of the designer paper. Then I read how you created it, and I love it. What a fantastic way to create a pumpkin! Great card, Connie!
Very pretty, Connie. Love the design and colors. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, dear friend. Hugs xo Karen
