Creative Effects Challenge No. 237 - Word Challenge/Autumn

[pontiac1940]

Thanks to Lillias for the idea of creating pages using a word. In part, Lillias wrote: 

The idea is that the challenge host chooses a ‘word’ and you have to create a page featuring and representing that word. 

I've chosen autumn. The word "autumn" has to appear somewhere on your page. It could be in the form of a title or it could be part of a quote or poem etc. 

My example uses autumn leaves but don't let that sway you. There are many aspects of autumn that you might consider:

Harvest, anything pumpkins, ripe apples, apple cider, back to school, frost, snow, Thanksgiving, fall sports, hiking, corn mazes, walks, piles of leaves, fall fairs, fall festivals, fall bird migration ...

Apologies to those in the Southern Hemisphere where it is now spring. But you will likely have photos in your files.

It's a good time of year. Have fun.

Great starter Jim. I'll be singing that to myself for the rest of the day now.

Great word choice, Clive.
Used two pictures from my files.
Clipped one to the text, and the other for the illustration of the quote.
Texture from French Kiss Les Textures 1.

The idea was to use components of this page I created in 2021 to make a new page,
but I decided it shouldn't be tampered with because I really love it.  

So, until I get the brand new page done, here's a taste of Autumn past...

The photo is of my DIL and granddaughter taking the dogs for a walk. 
Those are the real colors of autumn - no PSE needed.
Gotta love the colors of fall in the Midwest
Not sure I love the leaves that need to be raked

my photo of neighbor's dog - about 20 years ago
when I still lived where the leaves changed colors

Thanks, Lillias. That's what happened to me too. I was also surprised to read that Nat King Cole wrote that beautiful, albeit bittersweet song.

Cute puppy. Love your choice of colors in both. Thanks.

I took the 'Colours of Autumn' Backdrop set from Ashe Designs and blended it with a texture from 2 LilOwls.
Children, squirrel and some leaf overlays from HiClipart.

[hmca]

Beautiful layout, Lillias! The leaves overlay is perfect!

[hmca]

Remembering that a picture as well as a "page" will work for this challenge; I chose a picture from my files and added the word Autumn to the pumpkin.....tried to achieve a carved-in look but not sure it worked.

[Lillias]

A lovely display of autumn goodies Helen.

Bonjour, Autumn.
