* A pet peeve of mine is the different in Stampin' Up!'s Basic White and the white cardstock used in their Paper Pumpkin kits. I always line the inside of my cards with Whisper White (Basic White). The gray contrast of the inside of the card kit is too noticeable. I decided to make this an easel card so that the "white" is not seen from the inside.   Fellow Paper Pumpkin Kit Lovers - write to Paper Pumpkin/Stampin' Up!.
