Day 221 - DIY: Patterned Paper with a Theme

Many months ago, we had a challenge to create your own background paper. Well, we have enough newbies (and we're so glad that you're joining in!) that I wanted to revisit this one...with a twist.
This challenge is about creating your own patterned paper by stamping (or you can use digi graphics) with a specific theme. In this case, make it a Harvest theme - you can do Halloween or Thanksgiving, or just general Fall.
Here's Hannah's take on the challenge:

Beautiful Fall card, Hannah!
She took that lovely pumpkin image from The Character Cafe and used it to create the background image. What I love about this technique is that you can take what you already have on hand and create paper that coordinates perfectly with the other elements on your card.
So take some stamps, a Fall theme and create your own beautiful background!
