The card I ended up with today bears no resemblance to the one I was going to make.  Changed the paper, changed the dies, changed the colour scheme and even eliminated the stamp I was going to use.  It may not be gone forever, but it needs to “marinate” for awhile, I guess.  In the meantime, the card below evolved and it turned out quite well.

I will leave it to you, dear readers, to decide whether the “Love Ya” refers to each other or to a narcissistic love of pumpkin spice coffee.
