Sounds like a dreamy project—start with a base of deep forest greens, then layer on muted golds like honeycomb and amber, add textures like rough bark, soft velvet leaves, and a splash of crisp, dry leaf silhouettes. Play with gradients: cool charcoal shadows against warm amber highlights, sprinkle a hint of slate gray to ground the palette, and sprinkle a dash of rusted copper for that autumn kiss. Keep swapping until the transition feels like a gentle, inevitable sigh of the season.

Oh yeah, moss is perfect—soft, velvety green that lingers between the richer leaves. A twig adds a linear, almost architectural touch, and reclaimed wood brings that weathered, story‑told depth. Lay them out loosely, let the textures mingle, and watch the mood board breathe like a living leaf.
