I am super excited to share with you my fall display and free printable fall banner this morning! I wanted to throw in a nontraditional twist my fall decorating by adding the color turquoise.
Since orange and turquoise are opposite of each other on the color wheel, they naturally go well together.

My mom and step-dad run a glass blowing shop in historic Conway, SC. Every Christmas, I look forward to getting one of their beautiful creations! The blown glass pumpkin with the turquoise stem was the starting point for the color scheme.
Now on to the free stuff! You can print the letters out as either 5” x 7″ or 3″ x 5“. The banner below was printed out as the 3″ x 5″ size. I used Picasa and chose the “shrink to fit” option before I printed. The larger size would be the perfect size for a fireplace mantle!
*I’d like to give a special thanks to The Graphics Fairy for sharing the French Acorn Wreath that I used to make my banner. I’d also like to thank Blooming Homestead for sharing her free printable that I used on my galvanized flower bucket. I got the idea for the turquoise painted pumpkins for the mini topiary from Northern Cottage.*
I’ll follow-up on a post on how I made the printed burlap image on the galvanized flower bin.

Hi Tricia,
Thank you so much for sharing your Thanksgiving printable banner! I used it as the creative activity for our Mops (Mothers of Preschoolers) group yesterday. We used your letters along with some burlap and fabric strips to make some fabulous banners. I wish you could have been there to see all the thrilled moms! Thanks again!
Susan says
Nice banner. Can’t wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Misty says
Thank you for the banner. I went looking for something exactly like this, and yours was perfect and easy to use.

Hello Tricia,
What a delight to find your beautiful blog! I loved your color wheel and the reminder of the colors that compliment one another. I added orange to my hutch filled with blueware this year and it worked…Now, I know why.
I am thrilled to be able to stop by and I look forward to many more visits.
Blessings and thanks,
Carolynn

Great colour combo! It “freshens” up the traditonal colours of the fall. Thanks for sharing the printable. I’ve pinned it for next year (Canadian Thanksgiving is already over!)
Tricia SimplicityInTheSouth says
Thanks for sharing, Bronwyn! I had no idea that Canadian Thanksgiving was at the beginning of October. I just looked it up. Happy Thanksgiving, almost a month late! 🙂
