PAPER PUMPKIN COMMERCIAL - THE CUTEST THING EVER!

 

 

In case you've been considering whether you should get the Paper Pumpkin or not, perhaps this video will convince you that yes, you simply must!  Each year at the Stampin' Up! convention, demonstrators submit commercials for different products that we sell.  This video came in third, but I think it should have been first!  It is just adorable and I wanted to share it with you!
