...What does everyone think? I have looked at this set and pondered to buy or not to buy? Can I hear form those who have this set? Can I live without and Could you live without it? Please let me know your opinions......
Bea,
If you like it, get it. I don't know if you are a demo or not, but I say get it anyways! Retired sets go for quite a bit on ebay or on SCS buy/sell/trade, so get it and play with it and if you decide later that you don't want or need it anymore, then trade for something different. I have seen so many beautiful creations using Autumn, and you will use that "thanks" so much! Go ahead, order it, you only have about 28 days left!

I LOVE this set. I've had it for several years and use it a ton on masculine cards. I'm NOT good at making masculine cards, so that's why I have several leaf sets, all of which are retiring BTW! Lovely Leaves is wonderful too, if you don't already have that one. I would highly recommend either of them! Good luck with a tough decision.
I have this set too, and I have to say it's one of my favorites by SU!. My gallery is small, but I have three samples in there with this set, including a checkbook cover. I just find it to be so versatile and easy to use. I would totally recommend buying it!!
I'm the naysayer here. I have the set and have yet to make a decent card with it. Don't know why -- I'm sure it is me. I've thought about selling it, but am holding on to it with the expectation that I'll get a bolt of talent some day!! Check out the galleries and if you like what you see, buy. Otherwise, I'd wait for the new catalogue. (you can always buy my set!!)

I love this set! The leaves look really great embossed in any metallic color. I've also stamped them in white chalk ink on vellum or dark paper. You can buy the actual skeleton leaves to tie onto cards too. I have a thing for leaves and trees and Autumn is one of my favorites....can't believe they retired it!
Should I buy retired Aumtun....?
