A Fall Card for Two Challenges

I made this quick card for the Clean and Simple Stamping FTL#159 here.  And it also qualifies for the SUO Challenge #28-Fall Colors-here.

I stamped the leaves from Falling Leaves in Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango, More Mustard, Old Olive, Not Quite Navy and Rich Razzleberry on Very Vanilla and punched them all out with the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch. I popped up each circle with Stampin' dimensonals. I stamped Grateful on the bottom in Crumb Cake. Finally, some 1/2 inch Tangerine Tango Scallop Dots Ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:

I stamped the owl in Old Olive, cut it out and popped it up with Stampin' dimensionals. I popped up the entire scallop with Stampin' dimensionals too. Happy Halloween from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped in Cajun Craze and punched out with the Word Window punch. Finally, some 5/8 inch Basic Gray Satin ribbon finishes it off.
