The colors are soft and muted. Very nice.

This needs a 10 star rating similar to my previous review. The paper is thick and textured. Love the muted fall colors, just so different. An awesome collection. I got the 12x12 instead of the 6x6 because Authentique patterns tend to be a bit small for my liking in the smaller size paper pad. Just love the journal card paper and the critters and arrow design papers are great too. So much good in this one!
