Truly Grateful!

Here is my first effort with this new set from the SU! Holiday mini -- Truly Grateful.  The images from this set are amazing and I can see that I'll be using it a lot this fall.  

What you can't see:  the "parquet" is stamped in Chocolate Chip over the Tangerine Tango fabric pattern from the Sweater Weather dsp.  I thought that the image over the dsp gave some nice texture to the project.
