I'm in the hop today (so you'll want to leave me a comment even if you hate my card :) ) and I decided to use a stamp released from Meljen's Designs, this cutie is called Cat O Lantern:

I never do round cards but always love seeing them on other people's blogs so I thought, why not :). Oh and have you seen my cute new watermark en my signature at the end of this post, it was designed by Ann Vento for Whimsy Stamps and you can get yours HERE if you want one! The image was as always 3D paper pieced and colored with my Copics, here is a close up:
