Autumn Leaves

Good morning!  Today finally feels like fall again with temperatures in the fifties here in the Carolinas. We had such a hot summer that I'm happy to see cooler weather!  I'm also enjoying making fall cards this year, especially since Create with TLC has so... many gorgeous fall collections!  I have an autumn leaf to share today:

I loved the blocked leaf Paulette created so I really took some artistic liberty with this and added colors in Photoshop.  I liked the colors, but wanted more so I used my distress inks to change colors on the leaf and subdue the background.  I recently acquired a Cricut so I "had" to play with that and found this adorable background frame on the "Elegant Frames" cartridge and my words on "Autumn Celebration".  I had a hard time finding the design paper I wanted to use at first, but Basic Greys "Indian Summer" seemed to fit what I was going for.

Now I have a little brain teaser for you, what word do you think most appropriately describes our season of the year in the US right now, "fall" or "autumn"?  I "Googled" it because I could not for the life of me figure this out! 

Happy fall or autumn!  Thanks for visiting, I love reading your comments and appreciate your support!
