Instructions:
1.
Fold green cardstock in half. Take sandpaper (or emery board) and
lightly sand the cardstock. Be careful not to bend or crumple the cardstock
while sanding it. Sand harder/lighter in different areas of the cardstock to
give it more depth.
2.
Fold back top right corner and tear off the very end leaving some folded
over. Glue down with Mono Adhesive. You can sand the folded edge some.
3.
Mount striped background paper to bottom right corner.
4.
Stamp saying on small piece of cork paper. Tear around all 4 sides
carefully.
5.
Attach this to the piece of orange paper. Mount onto folded cardstock in
upper left corner. 
6.
Stamp pumpkins on the scrap pieces of orange paper. Color the stems
brown. Use a green pencil to go over the vines. Highlight pumpkins with a dark
orange pencil. Trim and mount onto striped paper.
7.
Attach double spiral clip with Zots clear glue dots.
8.
Take the large piece of cork paper and place it on the inside upper right
corner. You can tear this piece diagonally parallel with the folded front
corner if desired. Otherwise mount with Mono Adhesive.
