Summer will be winding down soon, the kids are back in school, the sun is setting earlier and Labor Day is almost here.

Autumn leaves are a favorite of mine to include on my Fall cards and if you’re getting ready to start creating cards for Fall I’ve gathered together a bunch of lovely leaf cards to get you inspired.
