Fall Wreath

I am not a big Halloween fan; my oldest son says it is his favorite holiday. I let him do the decorations.

I needed a new fall wreath because the flowers were falling off the last years Fall wreath.  I like parts of the All Free Crocheting Wreath they posted so here is what my wreath looks like:

I used a ribbon to wrap the Styrofoam circle form instead of crocheting it. I liked it a lot better.

Here is the link to the direction for the leaves:

There was a better pattern for maple leaves I got from All Free Crocheting which is an application Downloaded on my I-phone.  Hopefully I can type it in here:
