Moonlit Ride Card

Forget what I said yesterday--I'm so ready for Autumn I could scream!  How about a ride across a harvest moon? 

The black detail is a scrap that took on new life when I started playing with it.  At first, I had it butted tight agains the orange piece, but I decided I needed a white element in the design to balance the moon, so I gapped the two pieces and attached a white scrap on the back.  Notice that every other point comes to the front of the design--this creates an interesting rhythm and suggests bat wings--a particularly appropriate reference, I think.

To make the moon, I used the 3/4" circle punch to make a scrap circle that I held in place while I sponged on the pumpkin pie ink everywhere else on a sheet of whisper white cardstock.
