The Play Date Cafe PDCC65 Challenge

I was a little late getting this done stupid me missed the dates, but I thought I would share anyway.
This is the new challenge at The Play Date Cafe, Grey, Green and Orange, here is my take on this challenge, love creating with these colours.
I used some yummy stamps by Pink Paislee, and the papers are an older range by Scenic Route, a couple of little details here and there.
