OWH Midweek throwdown: Autumn cards

For this autumn card, I used the little Chubby Squirrel digi that was a freebie on the Stars & Stamps blog donated by A Day for Daisies. In my backyard in northern VA, the squirrels are mostly gray ones, so I decided to try that color scheme for the squirrel. I don't have a huge supply of Copics yet, so I used the grays I have, as well as black. The DP is "Thanksgiving Words" by DieCuts With a View. The sentiment is a rubber stamp by Stampin' Up. I wanted to surround the little gray squirrel with bright fall colors, so I added the row of flowers, with black brads to tie it in with the grays and the black mat.
Thanks for stopping by; hope you like my Chubby Squirrel card!
