Something Else on Saturday #280 Featuring Hello Autumn from Alicia Bel

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. This week, I have another leaving card for yet another work colleague who is leaving just after half term (There's 4 in total this term with my partner teacher leaving at the end of Spring term!😞). 

For this one, I used this gorgeous image from Alicia Bel as she is waving goodbye and seemed really appropriate! I love the colour combo on this one, but didn't place my letters for the Good Luck properly and there's not enough of a space between them!1 Oh well!
