PSL Reindeer

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by Sweet November's September Challenge: Anything Goes Optional Twist Use Three Fall Colors (I used deep yellow, orange, brown, and kraft). This reindeer is from the Sweet November Winter Wishes Reindeer Stamp Set, I just colored his scarf and mug in fall colors to make him a fall reindeer enjoying a PSL. The background is stenciled with the Picket Fence Reindeer Stencil and I added pumpkins from Lawn Fawn Stitched Pumpkin dies since he is having PSL.
