All elements are from the Palvinka Designs Beautiful Autumn Collection.
Process Notes:
I took this photograph on our property and it's one of my fall favorites. I used it for my background, but It was a little too vivid for any of the elements and the type to show, so I used a blend mode to lighten it up a bit. I kept the four borders darker, however, to frame my picture. Next, I added two different fall borders, from the Palvinka Collection, and some threads, leaves, artsy bits, butterfly flies and bows, for a touch of whimsy. I found a poem that I really liked and placed it, on an arch, down in front, across the road.
[CENTER]Poem reads
"October is the treasurer of the year,
And all the months pay bounty to her store;
The fields and orchards still their tribute bear,
And fill her brimming coffers more and more
. But she, with youthful lavishness,
Spends all her wealth in gaudy dress,
And decks herself in garments bold
Of scarlet, purple, red, and gold."
by Paul Laurence Dunbar 1872 –1906
