Not an autumn layout at all but the flowers are only found blooming this time of year. I’m not ready for cold fall/winter and the weather has been cooperating!
Text Reads: It has been the latest summer weather that has ever stuck around. We have had beautiful Octobers before, but not without rain, cold, or frost. This year it was over 80° yesterday! Today it is 70°. Still dry, but we are hoping for some rain in 5 days. The wildfires are getting the skies all smoky, so there are very few days when a person can enjoy the beautiful weather.

Construction: I placed one of my slightly out-of-focus photos for the background, leaving it the original size. I then selected the entire 12 x 12” canvas and cropped. I placed a white layer on top at 65% opacity and blend mode Screen to make it look muted.
I placed the Stitched Template Pack No 1 #10 centered on the canvas. I deleted Fotomasks #2 & 4. I removed part of the stitching, shadows and holes in the upper left. I moved the square frame slightly to the left. I then clipped my 4 photos to the remaining 2 Fotomasks and the 2 frames. I placed Summer WordART No 2 #1 on the frame label.
I added MultiMedia Suns No 1 #5 under the frames, rotated counter clock wise with the sun layer removed. I moved the circle white artstroke to the upper right, duplicated it, to make it darker, and duplicated it again and moved it to the lower right. I placed MultiMedia Suns No 1 #2 on the left.
I placed Summer WordART No 2 #8 in the upper right (darkened by duplicating layers and merging).
Font is Baskerville Old Face.
