Fall is in the air...

I am guessing for much of the United States (and the top hemisphere of the world) that winter is actually in the air, but for those of us in Texas it's fall that is starting to be in the air. Now actually much of last week, it didn't even feel like fall. It was much of the upper 70s even. But the cooler weather is starting to peek around and show up!Here's a great witchy stamp that just came out at the Queen Kat store from artist Regan Kubecek called witchy rubber stamp. She has a bunch of delightful stamps to check out. I made this witch flying over the clouds with the leaves of fall floating with her.
