It really is. Cool, blustery (love that word), leafy. Even in Tejas.
I used emboss resist with the French Foliage Leaves on Newsprint DSP and then Sponged Pear Pizazz on top, then finished with Gold Smooch Spritz (see closeup)
Then I stamped additional leaves in Early Espresso on Pear Pizazz and cut them out. The ribbon is white taffeta with Gold Smooch Spritz sprayed on it and I used a gold glitter brad
The greeting is just part of the Thank You stamp from Afterthoughts, inked with my EE marker.

It's definitely Fall here too -- it's been raining all day.
I love this vintage card. Great job with the ribbon! Those leaves look almost real. And I never noticed that "Thanks" in that font before but I love it.
