 Hello everyone: As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, staying healthy and safe.

The RETRO RUBBER challenge has this fun sketch for you to play with, and here's my card to inspire you to come and play along with us in our gallery.

This is the inside.

And this is what I used.

I've been using these cute pumpkins for a very long time, one of the first posts using them was from 2016 so, they totally fall in the "older than a year" category, LOL!!  But I love them and I always color them in green and orange, with a bit of off white for the threads on the mummy pumpkin.

The "BOO" punch is from The Paper Studio and it's super old too.

The sentiment is from Penny Black and I cut it in three parts to make it fit on the bottom space.

Thank you for visiting me today and for your comments, for more inspiration hop over to the RETRO RUBBER CHALLENGE page and check out my teammates fabulous creations.

Don't forget to use stamps that are at least one year old.

Stay healthy and safe.

A little note.

I'm having a little trouble with my watermarks, I'm not very savvy when it comes to all of this computer stuff so I'm hoping my youngest daughter can help me out this weekend.

All I can do is to add my watermark to the bottom of my card's pictures, I know it's not the best way but it will have to do for now.

This is the inside.

And this is what I used.

I'm not sure if the Fuchsia Flower is from Stampendous or from Penny Black.

I used Gansai Tambi watercolors.

WOW White embossing powder.

Glitter Glue.

Rhine Stones.
