Autumn is here and decorations for the season are popping up everywhere! I'm looking forward to cooler temps and more time outdoors without sweating and over-heating. And...pumpkin spice, yummy for the tummy!

This month's challenge has 2 elements:
   1.  Make an easel card. 
   2.  Use one of two color palettes:
        a.  Traditional fall colors like brown, orange, yellow, kraft, moss green
        b.  The "opposites" purple, orange, lime green, black (the modern Halloween colors)



One randomly selected winner will receive a $5 ACOT gift certificate.

GUIDELINES:
1. ONE card per cherry.
2. Create an easel card for a guy that features autumn color palette a or b. 
3. You may combine with ONE other monthly challenge that allows combining, the weekly card challenge on the ACOT blog, or a prompt challenge that allows combining.
4. Your entry must be a new card never before posted here.
5. Please post your card here and in the gallery by 11:59 on October 31, 2026.

Sorry to be so dumb, but what exactly is an easel card?

An easel card is one that mails flat, but the recipient opens it to find that the card props up for display. I will post an example (sorry, I just was leaving for vacation when I posted the challenge and didn't have time to make a sample).

There are many ways to construct an easel. Enter easel card tutorial into your favorite search engine or YouTube and you will finds dozens to pick from.
