VC: Tag Book Tag #10 (October)

I've seen a few "tag books" lately, and my mind has been blown. Using a standard #8 shipping tag (6 1/4x3 1/8"), with a horizontal alignment (hole on the left side as you look at the tag), make a beautiful "October" themed design for your swap partner. A beautiful autumn or Halloween-inspired tag...or maybe the October flower (calendula or cosmos) and gem (the mysterious opal)! Don't forget to use a "landscape" rather than a "portrait" design...the tag book will be very wide and not very tall! The idea is that we will tie our little tag book with ribbons, string, lace...it's going to be your choice...once we have a certain number of "pages" accumulated. Do your best work, and have fun with this swap!

If your swap partner happens to be in the southern hemisphere (Australia and New Zealand come to mind), please take into account the fact that October is full-on spring for them...they might appreciate a tag tailored for their season rather than for the northern hemisphere.
