Hello. It looks like I'm posting the last CARDtober challenge for 2020!
Your color scheme, should you choose to accept it is here:
My sample is a two-fer because I stamped two bouquets in case of failure:

Are they the exact same shades? No! Did I use all of them? No! You don't have to either. Just take the inspiration scheme as a starting point and see where it takes you.
I figured everyone is already moving on from Halloween and focused on Thanksgiving (if not Christmas) so I went with a gratitude theme. Experiments with stamping on patterned paper. I was really proud of myself for trying out some dies I had never opened, and for stamping my own patterned paper for the smaller card (distress oxide "grateful" repeated all over in tattered rose). The "blending" on both cards is Ella and Viv patterned paper.
So, color scheme starting point is any combo of muted greens, taupe, peachy-pink, and cream/ivory shades.
The twist is to try a card size/shape that's not your normal go-to, OR try a background technique you rarely do (stencil, emboss, repeat stamp, ??)
I guess if you choose to do both twists you can claim them both! That's my Halloween gift to you
an extra point. lol. Halloween isn't a gifting holiday
