It was below 60 degrees here in SE Wisconsin this morning and the smell of fall is present. In theory, I love fall but I'm not sure I'm quite ready. But it is a pleasant change from the heat we've had.
Now to the card: in a stretch, this is also for yesterday's color challenge. I wanted to use this Club Scrap paper and leaf stamp because it came in red and yellow and already had the embossed leaves. But in the end I only used the stamp and the brownish embossed paper. So the brown is sort of like kraft, right? My green is the fiber which I've had for a long time; it's a rather mossy green, although it does have a hint of orange. Breaking the rules again. And of course the paper has gold embossed leaves and I embossed the edge of the paper with gold too. So gold is another color I've added. Man oh man.

I like your image. I mostly agree with it too - but when I hear that my dad is feeding the mice in his garden (not the birds, go figure!) I think it can be carried too far. Gorgeous card, that leafy paper is fabulous. And I love bird images .
