Happy Thanksgiving with the Pumpkin Bear

Hello and Happy Wednesday to You!  Tina here from Cards & Coffee Time with another fun project using the oh so adorable Pumpkin Bear Stamp Set .  Okay….today as I grabbed my copic markers I originally was going to color the sweet bear scarf  blue and the pumpkins traditionally orange.  Maybe it was lack of coffee but I thought it would be fun to do a flop-a-rooie and switch the colors.  Blue pumpkins??  Yes and I just love the way it turned out!!  What do you think?? Something a bit different:)  I am always trying to think outside the box, sometimes it goes great and sometimes it doesn't, but I like to give it a go anyway:)  I hope you like it!
