Fall is my favorite time of year so I decided to make a simple, but elegant Fall card for my first design team project. I love this orange pattern paper from the Crate Paper – Farmhouse collection so that was my starting point. After selecting some coordinating card stock and pattern paper, this card came together really quickly.
