Leaves Falling Tag

It's definitely autumn here with most of the leaves on the ground, a chill in the air, and Thanksgiving next week.  I decided it's time to share a tag created with Stampendous!' Leaves Falling Rubber Stamp and Build a Wreath Die Set.

Here it is! I know that the wreath is a bit off center, but then again, so am I!
