We have a super surprise sponsor and
their design team

Each day, surprise guests and surprise posts!
We are also honored to have the 
return of the original PDCC Design Team.
so make sure you mark your calendar for
October 21st-26th.

The Play Date Cafe is still accepting
submission for our current
Design Team Call.
For all the details, simply click here.

Your color host for this week's challenge is
Senior Designer, Sarah Anderson.

"Again it was another one where I just loved the photo, but I
 love leaves that are becoming skeleton leaves but aren't quite
there yet and still retains some colour.  This leaf has such an unusual 
hint of a greenish colour remaining, 'ish' being a key part of
the colour description this week!  Brown and blue are one of my favourite 
colour combos so this beige and soft blue are perfect for me."
It's great to welcome back
