Yay! I'm finally back in business!
I haven't been able to load pictures to my post for almost a week and it was crampin' my style! And not even because I have anything fantabulous to share with you. It's just I want what I want when I want it!! That's not too much to ask, right?!
Well, all I've really got today is a quick little project.

Well, all I've really got today is a quick little project.
This is the centerpiece I have on my table this year. Although I had all of the pieces last year, I've never had them together in this combination before. It's just a pre-fabbed candle ring on a pedestal with a foam pumpkin on top. The only thing new is the paper napkin I used for the bow.
I'm in LOVE with the quatrefoil pattern right now, so when I saw this pack of cocktail napkins at Target I had to have it.
I only used 3 napkins to cover my pumpkin. See how *here*
Anyway, the centerpiece pumpkin looked a little plain so I used one of the napkins to fashion a bow for the top.
I started by opening up a napkin and cutting it into 1/4's
I took strips and fashioned them into parts of the bow
Then I took left over twist ties from treat bags and wound them around a chopstick to make curly Q's
And since my pumpkin is foam, I simply used straight pins to attach all the parts of the bow.
Easy Peasy!
*That's more than I can say about getting pictures to load to my post!!*
You might find me partying at some of these places *HERE*
Blessings!

So pretty and wonderfully creative. I am forever picking up and putting down beautiful paper napkins because I don't know what I'd do with them all. Now I know what I can do with some!
What a great looking bow!
Love your pumpkins ~!

Your bow is so pretty and looks easy to make. Love the paper you used. I especially like the jewel tones rather than the traditional orange and golds.
I like what you did with the pumpkin! Great idea with the napkins. You are quite creative!
