This is for the Autumn Leaves challenge and for the
Queen for the day challenge honoring Trish. I picked several of her cards, and kind of combined them.... But here are two that I really loved.... CAS leaves Queen tessaduck by TrishG at Splitcoaststampers

Mary, a lovely autumn card with your beautiful twig/maple leaf wreath surrounded by the gorgeously sponged bg....I think the mottled look is much much more interesting than if you had smoothly blended everything.

Such a simple design, creative design! Your pretty sponged back ground is the perfect back drip for that gorgeous fall wreath and the plaid boarders are the perfect finishing touch.

Love the concept of the autumn wreath....so pretty. The added bg with the muted sponging is perfect to showcase your image. Very, very attractive. The added plaid for the border brings it all together. Nothing says fall like plaid. Fav'd. tfs

That is stunning! I love the way you've left the centre of the wreath uncoloured and used the rich warm colours sponged around the edge. I love the combination of the punched leaves on the stamped wreath, too. Hmm, I think I could try something like that, I have a twiggy stamp.
