Embellish Color Challenge - Paper Pieced Pear

This card is based on the Embellish Magazine Challenge using Paper Piecing and the layout is from Clean & Simple Stamping's FTL107.  Isn't that pear image pretty?  It is from a long retired SU! set called Sun-Ripened.  I paper-pieced it with some A Muse gingham paper (all the paper on this card except the kraft is from A Muse), embossed the background with a Cuttlebug folder and finished the whole thing off with an A Muse Sentiment from the Everything's Rosy Release.
I've got a zillion crafty things whirling around in my mind - gonna go try to chase one down and grab it before it floats away!

So very pretty! The image is great with the paper piecing and the layout is simple, but lovely on top of that embossing! Love it!

It wasn't until I shrunk this page down after making my comment that I noticed your Stamping Royalty badge--I got one this year, too! Congratulations, and I'll be watching for your card (in the next issue, right?!?)!
