Weekly Challenge Combo

For this week's challenge, I decided to combine three different ones into one card.  My card design is from Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 287 (TSSC287).  My color scheme is from LateNightStamper's Color Challenge 235...I didn't have the Tangerine Tango so I used a color I did have, Pumpkin Pie. And my sentiment is from SUO Challenge #83 - A Favorite Sentiment.
