Have a Tea-riffic Birthday

I couldn't resist joining in the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #135 Coffee, Tea and Treats as it was the perfect excuse to break out my as yet unused Tea-riffic Day set. I pulled in some LF oldies too.  I should use those trees more often--so cute.

It's October so how could I not think of cozy scarves and layers of leaves when it comes to the latest Addicted to CAS Challenge #231 Layered.
