Last fall artwork for this year

We are done with fall. We had been so blessed with prolonged "season of golden trees" this year, but the wind the other night blew the last of the leaves away. I know the winter is not coming for people here is US until December 22, but for us December 1st is the official beginning. So this will be our last fall craft this year.
We wanted to do a leaf rubbing craft with crayons and watercolors. However our paper turned out to be too thick for that, and thin paper could not support amounts of watercolor without breaking apart. So, we just covered the whole sheet of failed leaves rubbings with colors of the fall, and cut trees out of the scrapbook paper. We made each tree out of two different pages, glued it on, traced with oil pastels and voila! I think it's very pretty.
Goodbye fall!
We are now looking forward to the festivities of holiday season :)
