THOUGHTS?
I might end up adding all of the leaves after all, I think. If I fill in the left and then leave it as is, I fear it's somehow unbalanced and too empty in the middle? Or...perhaps I could add my initials and the year there?
The pumpkins are sooooo elegant! I vote for your initials/date at the bottom. Looked back at the picture with the leaves and they take the eye away from the pumpkins which deserve to be the focus. Glad to see you being a bit perkier!!
Coni, I like the leaves on each side. It really makes the pumpkins pop! They are beautiful. They show up so nice. Have a great week end. College football!!
Lay a comparably sized leaf across the center between and anchoring the other two pumpkin leaves ... less than original greenery, buy balancing out the whole.
I'm adding all the leaves to mine and while I'm no where near as far along as you, I think they'll look great. But you have a great idea with name and date. I can't wait to see what you decide!!
The piece will be lovely no matter what you do with the leaves. Personally I like the leaves. I think the darker leaves ground the pumpkins and make them seem brighter in contrast.

ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using all the leaves. They "ground" the pumpkins and keep them from looking as if they are just floating in mid-air!
ReplyDeletePut your personalization info in the middle. That's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI vote for initials and year!

ReplyDeleteInitials and year sound like a good compromise :-)

ReplyDeleteI vote for initials/year or a short verse or expression like Blessed or Grateful.
ReplyDeleteGo for the leaves—the bright pumpkin colors need the contrast.
ReplyDeleteI think either options would be lovely! It's beautiful!
