Autumn Greetings

Who is ready for Fall?  I am!  The weather has been quite warm in the Pacific Northwest but it seems that it is finally starting to cool as we head into Fall.  Today I'm designing with the Branch Wreath Fancy Die:

Wreaths make me think of Fall/Winter, how about you?  I teamed it up with the Sunshine and Earth Mix Layering Papers.  The watercolored background brings out the Sunshine but also pulls in some different blues/aquas.  

Who can resist a glittery Maple Leaf from the Autumn Icons Fancy Dies?!  I tied it up with some twine I had in my stash.

I'm such a fan of layers, texture and unexpected colors.  The sentiment is from the  Color Layering Fall Trees set.   

My daughter and I will be visiting the pumpkin patch soon so this card will accompany a secret Pumpkin Delivery.

Have a great day!
