Fall Fun

This Leaf Boy stamp is perfect for fall greetings. I'm so ready to enjoy cool weather and changing of the leaves! I pared it with the Foliate Quad Cube and the Marble Quad Cube for great backgrounds and for just a touch of bling Dot Sparklers were added in the top corner and in between the leaves. The boy and leaves were colored with Staedtler colored pencils and gone over with a blender pen.
