I really love pumpkins! I love the way they look, all big and bright orange, I love getting creative and carving them and I love the way they taste, especially pumpkin pie and just about anything is made better with pumpkin spice, right? I also really enjoy adding them to my Autumn cards.

So I’ve picked a big bushel of cards to share with you that feature pumpkins to get you inspired to add them to your next card.
