When fall is coming, I envision this fall fantacy…

Type:
1.Type: Arial black, 36pt. create outline, use 5pt flat brush.

Applying brushes to path:
2. fall leaf: use the pencil tool to draw some lines, and apply the fall leaf brush on them. Default property of the brush is used.
3. strawberry: use the rectangle tool to draw three rectangles. fill color is none. apply the Strawberry color brush to the stroke of the rectangles. change the brush options as: size 50% - 70% random, spacing 50% - 70% radom, scatter -130% - 27% radom, rotation -75 - 75 random. colorization: hue shift with color of red.

Creating brushes
5. birds: draw three birds with pencil tool. make them into 3 scatter brushes. use line tool and pencil tool to draw path, and apply the bird brush to the path.

    The slanted sun with the yellow slanted lines in the background are matching the birds and leaves in the front so well.
