\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a tag where almost everything shines and shimmers. The background was embossed with Tim Holtz Crackle 3-D Texture Fade<\/a>, and she used his Skeleton Leaves<\/a> and Fall Foliage<\/a> to die cut all the wonderful autumn leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma<\/a> created a project that combined two of her favourite things about this time of year ~ Autumn leaves and Halloween.
