Nice!

I like the little detail of the leaves falling out of the frame on the
lower left.

Thanks! The leaf was actually an afterthought. Everything was going
to stop at the cut line, but when I started carving the leaves, I
"saw" the leaf projecting past the line, so I found a piece of scrap
and glued it on for the decending leaf. So technically, it's from 3
pieces of wood.
