I have featured the Daffodil Afternoon decorative paper, which is available until midnight today (Feb 28th) as a free Sale-a-bration item.

I was not a fan of autumn when I used to live in the UK, now I live in North Texas, which has hot and dry summers, I find autumn to be a welcome change with the cooler days and better chances of rain!
