welcome to fall, love to all.

welcoming autumn

well, it is still autumn and will be for quite some time (smile).  i've made another card to celebrate the autumn theme at lunagirl moonbeams.  our challenge goes until october 6 so i hope you will play along.

the vintage image is from the lunagirl "mucha 1" collage sheet.  i used a couple different background papers and some more of my die cut falling leaves.  the lady's outstretched palms are welcoming or perhaps summoning the falling leaves and the change of seasons as an important and central part of life.  i feel invited to love and accept the changing seasons -- i'm always a little reluctant to let go of summer but i'm ready now. and actually fall is one of my favorite times of year. welcome autumn!

enjoy; love to all
