Two more wonderful cards Brenda...that second one just calls out to me so...think it is because I have some autumn papers on my desk trying to inspire my self to create with them! lol

My hands are a little better this week so maybe I will get a bit more done!

Your second card is very autumnal indeed & I love the way your button & twine literally tie it all together. Your paper pieced dress in the first card reminds of my childhood & the dressing up for Christmas. The poinsettia & holly leaves is a super touch.
