Best theme for September!

This was my 2nd idea, but my first pic is stumping me, so I did this one first. Got to try some new things. Good luck to all!

and as a fluke, found more time:

Oh this is hard. I really liked two of them, but I am going to go with kerlyness second entry.

Oh, wow, thank you so much! Will post October's in a few minutes.

Question - does the Judge get to keep the set if they want? (If so, I'll make an avatar.) Or should the creator? Either works for me. I'm just so happy!

Congrats, kerlyness!

And you can do whatever you want with the set. If somebody asks you for it, you can opt to give it to them. But usually, they just end up in a shop or auction, I think.

Thank you, and congrats on your own wins - both sig and profile of the month, go you!
