A friend of mine has a birthday in autumn so I thought I'd make a card and wrap her gift in an autumn theme. I printed my message ("May blessings FALL on you") on parchment paper...
... leaving room in the center for a bare tree stamp and cut out leaves in fall colors. 
I finished my card framing it with brown cardstock.
I wrapped my gift with simple brown kraft paper, tied it with celery green ribbon to match my sweet birdie and tucked a piece of fall foliage in the bow. Oh, by the way, Marty at Stroll thru Life, if you're reading this, thought you might like to know there's a cloche inside! :)
I'm sharing this idea with DIY Fall Show off , Met Monday , Make your Monday , DIY Day and Rhonda's Welcome Fall Party along with the rest of the great ideas!

Oh Marsha!
I so love this creation. I hope you won't mind others using it for packages, as I have a special package I need to put together, and I would so love to use this idea. A little changed so as not to use your creation, but use a little of the idea. Just precious honey. Happy Fall! Stop by soon, as I would so love to have you visit. Country hugs, Sherry
Hi Marsha! Is that nowtthe most clever idea I have seen in a long time! You are a dear friend to give such thought to your present! She will have to join us for Marty's next cloche party!! Happy week!...Debbie

What a great idea! It is always a very special birthday when friends take time to make something for you!
It would be hard to tear into that pretty package!! But then again if there is a cloche inside- let me at it!!!!
