Gourdness Gracious

From Brenda:

Gourdness Gracious! - first of all, my mother often said the phrase, "Well, goodness gracious," so I love the play on those words for this design. I imagined this little witch one day, much to her surprise, would find something growing in her urn, a seed planted not by her but a visiting crow. It grew into a giant green vine with yellow blooms that produced smiling jacks, and her reaction was, of course, Goodness Gracious!
