CASE FILE

The leaves are finally changing and the world is aglow with warm color here in Maryland, so we're celebrating autumn with our first November Case File. Our Scene inspiring this challenge is from Tokkoro. Don't have autumn photos? No worries! The color scheme is very versatile and suitable for just about any theme.

Digital scrappers can find a free template for the sketch, created just for our players by the Nifty Pixel, here.
