Inspired By #89 ... signs of fall

 
Are there signs of fall by you?  Since my neighborhood was built on [what was formerly] a blueberry farm, there are very few trees within, but many on the outskirts!  Penny Black may have imagined this little sweetie [another borrowed from Marcia] in my neighborhood - lol!  Nary an acorn to be found - which doesn't break my heart - ya know what I'm sayin'?

Laurel's IB#89 prompt triggered this little playtime... emphasis on that lone little leaf...

Of course her Converse are grey - are you surprised?
I have a low-top pair of my own!
Winnie & Walter Noelle Cutaways always set the stage perfectly, right?

There is so much to love about Autumn - you autumn play along, my friends!  Can't wait to see how you are Inspired By #89!

This is just the sweetest! I love the plaid, scalloped background and the over the edge rake.

I can just imagine what shes thinking have raked up all the other leaves as she sees the one falling. Fabulous card.

Our old, giant oak is dropping some leaves butm fortunately she he doesn't have acorns. That's good because I'd be the first one to walk out on the lawn barefoot and step on them. I love this sweet Penny Black image and you've colored it to perfection.

She is as cute as a button, esp with her gray converse sneakers! LOVE that background too!

Oh my goodness, this is just delightful, Michele. From the tippy top of her auburn head to the bottom of her fabulous GRAY Converse, this just melts my heart. She's got a mighty big rake for that lone leaf (although I've got hope, for her sake, there's a lot more to follow). This is a delightfully charming card. Thanks for sharing!

This little girl is so sweet, Michele, especially with the gray Converse on! Love how the rake is sticking off the panel.
It's still dry and hot summer in LA and our air conditioner is running 24/7.
