Featuring the FQCB #40.5 midway reminder about turkey theme with deadline 27 Nov 2023

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

Purpose: this posting features my owner/DT contribution for FarmQuest Challenge Blog

When: #40 about turkeys started November 14 and will end on Nov 27, 2023

What: FQCB #40.5 turkey theme tag

Notes:

1. focal image was received in a box of crafting goodies received about 5 years ago from a junk journaling group artisan

2. focal image was dark so I enhanced it with a mint green highlighter (for the green/teal parts of boy's clothing, pumpkin stem, and some of the turkey feathers; a poppy red Arteza Everblend Art Marker for the boy's tie and the turkey face/wattle; then yellow highlighter was applied to the space surrounding the boy-pumpkin-turkey

3. neon yellow cardstock cut to about same size as the image focal = Neenah

4. mint green tag = ? maybe Heidi Swapp; received in an eclectic assortment of tags about 2 years from a Peachy Cheap website order
