It's been sometime since a freebie...three free fun Autumn Leaf printables to download! I know it's autumn here in Australia, but I still love those warm Autumn tones. I've been meaning to offer these designs for sometime as they are in keeping the Lil' Hoots printable that has been available from my Go Make Me shop for a while. Here's the link to the download the pdf:

The leaves are quite large so you can keep them the same size and use as table decorations with pretty little Macaroons sitting on top or thread your leaves onto ribbon or twine and make a stunning banner for Halloween. Another option is to reduce and use as gift or favour tags. Curl the top of the leaf over and attach to the stem for a party favor....I'm sure you'll discover different ways to use your printable
Please be aware I've designed these printables out of my own time and energy. I offer these in good faith that you'll only use personally and not commercially print or on-sell. Thanks!
