Fall in the Ozarks

This was the first tree I have seen this year where the leaves have fully turned colors, so I just had to take the picture. Unfortunately, I was in a moving car. The tree turned out blurred and I almost didn't get it, so it is off center. I applied the Impressionist photo effects to the picture and viola! I think it looks pretty. I added the ribbon and word art from the 2009 Freebies. The background is Danielle Engebretson's orange floral paper. I love the way this turned out. I made this into the cover for our fall vacation book. If it hadn't been for this challenge, I probably would have just deleted the picture entirely. What great timing. I just looked at this online, and the photo effect doesn't show up very well...
