Give Thanks v.2

This card is a look at the past.  The stamp set is an older one from SCS.  I do not own it, but was the recipient of several of the images - it is a great set.  I also went back to coloring with Brilliance inks and an aqua brush - seems like I do not use them much any more, but I like the look of the silver or platinum for the bucket. The red of the apples may not be exactly what we think of as a fall color, but to me apples are fall!  When we lived in Nebraska we would look forward to the appearance of apples (from Nebraska City) each autumn.
The cs is from AMuse, and the half pearls and twine are Pizzazz Aplenty.
I started with the sketch:  http://sundaysketchandstamp.blogspot.com/
There are several challenges still out there using a Thanksgiving theme and/or colors:

Your card says "fall" to me. I think apples are definitely considered fall!

Oh, apples are DEFINITELY fall! I like the two patterned pieces behind the bucket - nice touch.
