The first thing I noticed about this pic was the way your eye dances around the quilt. With occasional 'rest stops' on the lighter areas ... so that is where I went too ...
Lots of dotty spotty goodness with a white spot for your eye to alight on! (No I wasn't brave enough to try a hexagonal focal point :0)! heeee!
This quilt says "Fall" all over. It's warm, rich and full of the promise of homey memories and good times! Fall to me is about luxurious, outrageous, extravagant colours .... (spring comes in with a whisper, where sweet little things bravely poke their heads out of the ground and beckon shyly in pastel colours). Fall comes in screaming "I'M BEAUTIFUL ... JUST LOOK AT ME!!" Don't you think?
I tried to give a nod to this idea of fall - by the colours used (obviously) but also by using elegant flourishes and a big "you can't miss it" kind of bow.
This card is also for our Papertrey Peeps Challenge number 15 "Fall Into Fall".
Thanks for popping in!
Best wishes for a *totally* wonderful and happy day :0)

Tee hee! Fall (or autumn) certainly does have a Diva-like quality to it - wonder if that's why it's my fave season?! :D
Oh you rocked the Trigger with this utterly scrummy and rich card, Nerina! I'm getting toasty feet just lookin' at it on a screen!
Hugs,
