And here is the card I made, featuring fall, of course…those colors are perfect!

 

 

I have some tricks on this card that are hard to see in a photo:

 

• The base is More Mustard cardstock. 
• Layered on Early Espresso Core'dinations cardstock embossed with the Woodgrain folder and sanded.
• I CUT OUT the center with the Window Frame framelit (second from smallest) and then backed it with the green woodgrain DSP in the Orchard Harvest package.
• I stamped Hello from Friendship Preserves in Raspberry Ripple on Very Vanilla and cut with the smallest Window Frame framelit.  It is layered onto a square of More Mustard cardstock.  I added a couple rhinestone jewels on top and bottom of the Hello greeting and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
• I cut some smaller leaves and acorn with the Autumn Accents Die and Raspberry Ripple, Early Espresso, More Mustard and Lucky Limeade and crumpled them up before I adhered them.
• The Acorn is popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals and a little sparkly rhinestone.
