Our September host this month is Dana Grothaus. Dana thought it would be fitting to have a challenge using Stars & Stripes. Your card/project can be patriotic if you like, but it's not necessary. Just include both stars and stripes in your design.

For my project I started with a ton of scalloped circles that I created using my circle Nestabilities. I probable cut about 50 circles and glued them all together around a rolled piece of cardstock for the pumpkin stem. I created the pumpkin hat and decorated it with the stars. The legs were added using stripped Halloween designer paper from Stampin' Up!

To add some character to the pumpkin face, I used circle punches for the eyes and an oval Nesabilities for the mouth. **My lighting is a little off, so I will update the picture a little later today.

Remember there is never a time limit on our challenges - feel free to participate whenever you are able. To play along, upload your creation to your blog or gallery, then include a link to Mr. Linky form at the bottom of this post so we can check it out. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: OCCC

Have a wonderful weekend!
