FQGGCB #23 Anything Food Goes theme DT projects

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!

why: this posting showcases my newest design team inspiration projects for FarmQuest Grocery Game Challenges Blog or FQGGCB. The theme is 'anything food goes' which includes beverages, desserts/snack foods. You can show food in raw form, packaged or processed. 

In project #1 I'm showing some wacky pineapples for a different style folded birthday card!  I'm still a beginner with folded layouts so I kept this card simple. A great plaid paper and the colors & geometric prints on the pineapples create lots of visual interest, I think. 

In project #2 I'm showing a decorated cupcake for a small birthday card. 

when: #23 starts October 28 and ends on November 27, 2025. 

what: Project #1: Wacky Pineapples
