Happy Birthday Using Ching-Chou Kuik "Autumn Trio" and CTMH Falling For You Paper

Hello friends.  It has been too hot to do anything here in Southern CA.  We have had temperatures over 110 every day; with no relief in sight at this time.  I am very worried about our Feral cats.  I don't know how they survive in this heat.  I would let them in our home; if they would come inside; but they are too fearful to do that.

I had so much fun coloring this sweet image.  I forget how much I love coloring animals; until I do it.  LOL!  This one turned out so pretty with all the different colors of fall.  If you follow me; then you know that I rarely use grays, golds, oranges, browns, etc.  Although, I have been using it more; since our CTMH new double sided cardstock has arrived.  I was drawn to this image this month; to match my new CTMH "Falling For You" paper.  

I am using Ching-Chou Kuik "Autumn Trio"; which is part of a set of 4 gorgeous digital stamps.  It is time for another fabulous challenge at Ching-Chou Kuik; with the topic of Fall/Fall Colors/Pumpkins for our September Challenge. I love fall; although we don't have much of a fall in Southern CA.  It is one of my favorite times of the year; as it cools down and the leaves start to change.  It is always gorgeous to see the leaves with their magnificent colors.
