I was inspired by the leaves and made the card using all three of the leaf sizes! I always love the look of leaves!! And Julee has created some awesome dies to use with them!!! I used Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Pumpkin Pie as my colours. Combined those with some red gingham paper for the background. I hope it has a festive feel!
