I'm not feeling it.
I appreciate that the color scheme isn't typical autumn (but very typical Pinkfresh) but the motifs don't do it for me.
I want the Black-eyed Susan paper, the oak leaf paper, and the tea tag paper. Nothing else grabs me.

There’s not a single thing I’d bother to add to my cart.
The cinnamon sticks look like stacked campfire wood.

Very pretty, but I have too much fall paper right now.

I love that this collection isn't in-your-face autumn/fall, the colors are more subtle. We don't get "fall" in Florida, but I do try to incorporate some fall-themed décor and traditions each year, and so many of the fall collections feature sweaters and mugs of hot cocoa, and that doesn't work for me. This color scheme and the sentiments will work well for what I scrapbook.

It's no Days of Splendor and considering how trendy purple tones are right now, I'm a little disappointed this collection didn't incorporate them more. I would've enjoyed another semi-moody colour scheme.
I'm on the fence. I like a few things but it's just generic-Pinkfresh-but-make-it-autumn-ish. I get that this is an easy filler for leftover autumn stuff in one's stash. I see how this works and how universal it can be mixed in with other autumn-themed lines. But... I'm a little bored. It's exactly the same vibe as Delightful they just revealed but for a different season. Really hope they'll break the pattern for the Christmas/winter collection!

I really like the colours overall. I will pick up some of this line for sure. I like a lot of the phrases they chose ("let's sit and stay a while" is quite generic actually!). I really like the mini alpha sticker colours and hope those are puffy letters like before!

To be honest, I struggle with using PinkFresh paper. I love what other people do with it, I just have a block with it. Maybe it's that some of the collections lack contrast between the sheets and I like to layer? Overall, I prefer Delightful to Good Times, but will likely pick up embellishments from both. It's not like I need new paper, and I think I can make good use of the embellishments with my existing stash.

Meh. It seems many of the patterned paper designs can be replicated with solid cardstock & a repeating stencil. Not surprisingly, I dislike the bold yellow (my least favorite color) & wish it could be replaced with another purple to yield an updated/fresh autumn color palette. While I like the striped paper (Good Day), nothing from this collection is added to my wish list. TFS.

I think this is one of those lines that I Meh at and then see how someone creates something beautiful with it and think wrong again!

They need to bring back Geralyn to design cos... eesh. Thankful to have so much days of splendor stuff tbh.
I hate their 12x12 papers that are meant to only be 12x12. How am I supposed to use a full sized paper in 3x8 or 4x8 format? They never work when you have to cut them down.

I like this collection yet I want to crank up the saturation a bit. Unfortunately, I don’t need any new/more Autumn papers.

I was hoping I’d like this more.
I like the title ephemera and the mini alphas.
The rest is just..meh.
I would’ve loved to see more purple.

This is a pretty easy pass for me, overall the colour scheme and the embellishments are pretty uninspiring, although I do love that soft purple. Also, I know they do word packs, but how on earth are we using words like "authenticity"??

I really prefer the brighter, more saturated colors for fall. In my area, Minnesota, the fall colors are vivid, so that is what I like.

I love the green B-side of Cozy Up. It's the perfect shade of green to me and I'd love to see more of it. The rest is ok, I could probably use up a lot of the cardstock stickers but I don't have much use for fall themed collections.

I wondered if I bought too much Days of Splendor, but now I am glad I did! This doesn't really do it for me, although I might pick up the alphas.

I like the teal and purple in a fall collection. Makes it different. I love outdoor fall photos, but alot of my pics that time of year are indoors, so those colours would fill a gap for scrapping those. And the leaves and butterflies and flowers are beautiful. The cinnamon sticks look like stacked campfire wood. Ha ha! I struggled to figure out what they were!

I love that green. And many of the B sides look like farmhouse tablecloths: perfect for fall gatherings.

I wasn’t sure what it was either, but then noticed a tag that is helpfully titled “cinnamon” in scripted text at the bottom. 🤣 |

Maybe it's just my screen but the colours look very washed out. Not my thing, meh.

Because of the two phrases threads I took a look at this line:
Live Your Dreams
Be the Magic
Breathe Deeply
Seize the Day
Give Thanks
Soak It In
Keep Going
Be Present
Enjoy Today
Be You
Cherish the Moment
To which I respond: No, you can't make me! What a bossy line. I feel like if I used those phrases it would look like I'm telling the people in the photo what to do. I hate those kind of phrases.

Kinda washed out for my taste. Ive been having a hard time using my last few PF purchases.
I'm curious to see what they do for Christmas.

I really like the colors used. Not your traditional fall colors. I like that because it works for me being in southern Ca. We get fall, just not like back east. And we go to Oak Glen for apple season. I am going to pick up a few items and use them for DD.

This one is not for me. I have very little use for autumnal papers, and I am not a fan of muted/dusty colors. I do like both sides of the rainbow striped Good Day paper, but I won't purchase it because I don't think the color palette will work with anything I already have on hand.
I would be interested to see the wood accent stickers in person, as that is a new type product to me.

Okay, I am pleasantly surprised. I usually can't stand autumn collections because I dislike the done-to-death dull colour schemes. The pale colours and the additional of purple makes this one far more appealing to me.
