3-D Paper Leaf
Autumn is a beautiful time of year when the colors of the season are brilliant reds, oranges, golds and browns on the trees like those in this 3-D Paper Leaf. Enjoy capturing the colors by making your own brightly colored leaf decoration.
Trivia: One of the visible signs of fall is the changing color of the leaves. This happens because photosynthesis stops during this period so leaves do not stay green.
