... laughing, laughing … now aren’t YOU the clever one!!!! Once a school teacher, etc., etc. I presume????? ... insert innocent eye-blink here … THANK you, dear girl!!!! Glad you like this one!!!! Hugzzz!!!

Keeeeeli!!! Meeeeeee toooooo!!!! This is the first year we’ve been here in 21 years I didn’t do pumpkins and fill my baskets with mums stupid economy … grrrrrr … but I did put our leafy wreaths out … so I’m finally getting in the spirit too. Of course, that bag of mini-Reese cups I bought didn’t hurt a bit. WHEEEEE!!!!!!

Hiiiiiii sweetieeee!!!! Thank you thank you!!! It was a glorious sunny day … I always LOVE what the sun does, don’t you??? And yes, it’s nearly that time … do you have your costume yet??? LOL!!! I have a black t-shirt with a SEQUINED pumpkin front and center. I ALWAYS wear it to answer the door for the trick or treaters. Poor kids in the neighborhood probably think that’s my only shirt!!!! hehe

Thanks so much Bela!!!! I’m glad you like the effect too … it really made a rather ordinary image a bit nicer. Thanks again, hon!!!

Thank you so much, Dana. I adore your work … to have you compliment my images is a great honor. Thank you!!!

Darling, Angie .. you’re just like me!!!! I LOVE bright color and contrast … I try to tone myself down every once in awhile, but the truth can’t be ignored. I must have been a gypsy or a belly dancer or something in a previous life, LOLOL!!!!

And here’s our scamp!!! Hello you gorgeous girl!!! Thank you so much!! Actually, one of the groups said something about a pumpkin challenge, so I spent the better part of the day futzing around with this one … only to find they wanted carved jack-o-lanterns!!! Well, what’z a girl to do?? After all that work on this thing (play, actually) I HAD to upload it, right????? LOL So glad you approve .. you know how I respect your opinion!!!

... Ooooh you’ve got me laughing now!!! You told me!!!! LOL!!! Boy, boy, was I tempted to keep you guessing for a while!!!

hello Antonio!!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Ooooh thank you soooo much!!! I really struggled over which version to upload … the plain, the slightly Ortoned, or the whole shee-bang, which is this one!!! I’m glad you approve, hon!! You have such a good eye!!!
