October's Card Chain Challenge brought a terrific round of eye candy - these cardmakers never disappoint!
The countries represented this time were: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Indonesia, Ireland, Mauritius, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa (*NEW!*) Switzerland, and the United States. Past participants have hailed from Belgium, Croatia, Hong Kong, Japan, The Philippines, and Slovenia. (We only need to get some countries that begin with K, L, O, Q, R, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z to keep up with our alphabet list!) We have 173 countries to go before we have total global participation!!!
(If you're new to the Card Chain Challenge ("CCC") this is an event where everybody wins. Basically, you make a card for the person above you on the chain and you receive a card from the person below you on the chain. It's a personalized swap, sort of, and it's a ton of fun! Go here for past Chains and here to read the Guidelines.)
October had the following challenge options (you could use as many of the following options as you wanted, but you were only required to use one of them):

Terrific reveal, Deborah! Really beautiful cards!
Unfortunately Sally's gorgeous card for me never arrived!!! I'm SO disappointed and I hate the idea that her lovely is languishing lost somewhere in the postal system. However, Sally was so sweet and she made another card that's currently on its way to me.
