My November clipart set just feels so cozy and festive – exactly like I want November to be! I really wanted to do a pumpkin spice theme, but maybe a little differently than others have already done.

You can download these in my TPT store or my Etsy store. Here’s what’s included in the entire bundle:

Friday Freebie – Pumpkin Spice Sugar
I have a bit of an unconventional freebie for you today. I found a recipe for Pumpkin Spice Sugar on The Cottage Market, and it comes with these really cute printable labels.
