Scarecrow Tilda in a mushroom field!

Hello there friends! I have my card for Cute Card Thursday to share with you on this Thursday morning. The theme is Circle so I made a round card. I will be honest when I made this card I thought wow, I really put too much on it and it looked cluttered. Maybe if I were to have made it bigger? I don't know. I do like it. I love the paper and how it matches the stamp.

I hope you will be able to join us this week at Cute Card Thursday!
I'm counting down the days till I go to Michigan and visit Angie! I'm so stinking excited!
22 more days!!!!!
