Layered Paper Golden Autumn Leaves in Warm Light
paper craft · golden foliage · layered paper · cozy autumn
A handcrafted paper illustration of an autumn branch with golden leaves, arranged diagonally across the lower right of a 16:9 landscape wallpaper. Construct each leaf from layered matte paper in saffron, ochre, butter yellow, and soft bronze, with subtle folded veins and gently lifted edges. Illuminate the scene as though warm window light falls from the upper left, producing delicate real-looking shadows between paper layers. Leave the left two thirds as uninterrupted creamy cardstock for calm desktop icon placement. Include only a few small fallen paper leaves near the bottom border. The craft should feel tactile, refined, and cozy, with rounded organic shapes and no text, labels, or extra ornaments.
