Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends! May your day be one of gratitude for your blessings and time spent with family and friends, enjoying the harvests of the season.
We're at my mom-in-law's, so I'm squeezing in a bit of *me* time to share my card for MUSE challenge #186, inspired by Anita's striking leaves creation:
Her card was precisely the spark needed to create a birthday card for my brother, using my brand-new Concord and 9th leaf dies (or wheat dies, depending on your perspective...). One features the background patterned paper, in autumn shades of gold, rust and bronze; the second, the 'backside' of the patterned paper, in rust; and the third, in shimmer gold cardstock. I left them 'as is'...tall and handsome (I'd say 'pretty', but this is supposed to be a guy's card *grin*). The sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers Butterfly Birthdays.
NOTE: Thrilled and delighted to be selected as MUSE Honourable Mention! Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving, Carol. I ordered those leaves and can't wait until they arrive. You've made such a beautiful card I want to CASE it.
Stunning card, and that die is really fantastic. There is something about the shape of wheat that I find so very soothing, and it is perfect for masculine cards.
