     This year, Path of Positivity is challenging you to Embrace the Unexpected!  This month's theme is "Unexpected colours for a holiday [of your choice]" (See more theme info HERE.) This theme is optional, so as long as your creation is positive or encouraging in some way, enter it into the POP challenge for a chance to win $6 worth of images from our sponsor, Scribbles Designs, and/or be honored as one of our special "picks"!

    My card features a wonderful digi from Scribbles Designs named "Jack-O-Lattern" and the "Unexpected [Fall/Halloween] Color Scheme" is teal and shades of brown/rust! There is a wonderful reason for this color scheme. A few years ago, a friend had a Teal pumpkin with a flickering candle on her front step on Halloween instead of a typical orange one. I was curious, and then impressed when she explained that her daughter has many food allergies, and having a Teal pumpkin on display meant that they have non-food treats available for children with allergies! (You can read more about the "Teal Pumpkin Project" HERE.)   

    An added note, the inside sentiment adds a fun feature to the card that was easy to make. I folded it in the middle, then also folded the ends up, so that when they were taped down so the sentiment "pops-up" when the card is opened (I added to photos of the inside of the card, and one from the side to try to show this folded section.)
