Sometimes the retired stuff is the best! I created this card for my Senior class, but I think I will also do it for this months' class, too! The stamp bundle, Autumn Leaves is still current, as is the gorgeous Oxidized Copper DSP in the Online Store! It's just the small pieces of last years' All About Autumn DSP that is retired. I just love the simplicity and shine of this card!
