My Cape honeysuckle has not had too many flowers until lately.
Now there are so many blooms and they add so much wonderful color to
my yard. I have them in my front yard and back yard.
They also stay green all year long. I love that.
For some reason the bright colors of these flowers are hard
for me to photograph. That must be because of how bright they are.
The Honeysuckle in the front yard had so many bees I just had to try and
grab a photo of them.
So on with this weeks challenge over at
City Crafters Challenge blog.
The challenge this week is called
AN EARLY BOO!
Truth be told I just love Halloween. I still dress up every Halloween
as a Witch and give candy out to all the little trick or treaters.
So here is my Early Boo card I created.
That fun witch and moon image is from graphic fairies.

That's a wrap for me today.
I do hope you all have a fabulous week.
And thanks so much for all the kind comments.
I really do appreciate everyone of them.
Hugs~

Hi Linda! I just love all the beautiful bright orange, good shot of the bee too:0) Great colourful Hallo'een card today, such gorgeous bright colours and all your stitching is perfect as usual, you put me to shame :0)Hugs Gay x
I have found that direct light on the subject makes it very difficult to capture the color correctly. These are still pretty, though! Love your Boo card. :)
what a cool card! happy october colors all around.
Lovely card, Linda, and fab photos, too! Hugs, Valerie
What a fun Halloween card, Linda, love the image you used! I, too love Halloween and make special treat containers for all the treaters. Love your flowers, they must smell so nice! Have a wonderful day!
Hi Linda! I love your Halloween card! And how do you get those bees and bugs to cooperate with you in these photos. I think I shot about 50 photos one day trying to catch one but nope.
Have a great day!!
Ah, the cape honeysuckle...yes I remember! Vibrant color this time of year. Lovely shots, and that moon image on your card is a fun one! Hope we get to see some of your witchy poo costume shots! :-)
Terrific card Linda and the photos are wonderful, how brilliant to capture the small bee this way. Annette x
Fabulous color inspiration in the photo and a gorgeous Halloween card :)
Fab card, love the photos.
Always love your cards, always so inventive an lovely. Just fyi, I have discovered that if I bump the exposure down (notches to the right of the middle)when photographing bright colors like reds, oranges or yellows it really helps.
Hi Linda! I love your pictures! So bright and cheerful, I bet your yard is awesome!!!
I love your card with the cure Polka Dots and awesome image :-)
juicy orange colour!
looks amazing!

How cool, the card rocks :) And your photos are wonderful, love the bright colors.
Brilliant card - especially love that backing paper and the image. Totally with you on how fab Halloween is. My grown-up sons cringe at how I still decorate the house and dress up!
When I was a child I had a Halloween noise maker that had that picture on it. What fun to see it again.
That bee looks like it means business! Great shot, Linda. I love the smell of honeysuckle, but don't see it here. Gorgeous orange! I love your card and that you still suit up for the occasion...You're getting me in the mood for Halloween! Of course, with me that'll mean candy... Thanks so much for visiting. I really love that you do... Kath
Beautiful photos...and I heart your Halloween card....its BOO-tiful... you rock my friend...hugs..xoxo
Loving your beautiful photos and loveeeeeeeeee your card!!! That stitching is AMAZING!!!!!

And how fun is your card with the witch and the awesome stitching. I would love to see you all dolled up for Halloween.;)
Love love those Capes and your photos really are sooo beautiful! Very fun card with the same glowing colors and stitching :)
heh, heh, heh.... that's so cute that you still dress up for Halloween! I always have loved the adults who did that - as a kid and, even, now. But, then, all of a sudden I'm wondering why I never do.... but I think that between pumpkins and getting three little boys ready.... phew! That's enough for me, thanks! But I dressed up even through college.
Hunted Easter eggs into my twenties, too! ;)
xxo

Glorious colors and stitching, Linda! I love how you photos go so beautifully with your fall card! And did you know that The Piano Guys (the music that you play here "Over the Rainbow) are going to be on Jay Leno show this Friday? I am excited for them:)
So cute! I love Halloween too. :)

I love the Halloween card and the orange honeysuckle. Fall is definitely in the air!
Your 'boo' card is just beautiful! I need to get busy crafting! Happy Fall!
That is spooky fun over there!
DO YOU really dress up for Halloween? I was just telling Randy maybe I should for the first time because I love to hold that little basket with TOTO in it.
And ya, we just go home 30 minutes ago, imaging getting up at 6.30 central time this morning, it is like 4.30 am for vegas, and my first class starts today, not sure if I have the energy to "perform". And I have been wanting to meet up with you before you leave town, how's your weekend like?
Love your 'early boo'! Isn't that a fantastic image?
Sweet Vintage Halloween card. Love the details with the stitching and pretty papers. Lovely flowers!
