S/he (sorry, forgot to check the palps) was on the underside of a 2x12. Beautiful creature, would love to know what it is.

This beautiful creature is a Marbled Orb-weaver (Araneus marmoreus). A female, I think.

That beauty is a Marbled Orb Weaver, Araneus marmoreus. Apparently it is also sometimes called a Pumpkin Spider, so the timing of your discovery is spot on:).
