Fall Leaves and Pumpkins: Design Inspiration for the Season

The autumn season is almost here and there is no better way to warm up to it than fall leaves and pumpkin-inspired designs. We are seeing a lot of red and orange hues every fall and it makes internet users feel warmer as the air becomes colder. Different website elements could be designed with fall leaves and pumpkins, a different take than the normal Halloween motif. Nothing homier than fall-inspired web design.

Here are a few inspiring autumn design elements featuring fall leaves and pumpkins:

Why rabbits? Well, in some parts of the world (particularly in Asia) there is such a thing as the Moon Rabbit. In Asian folklore, the Moon Rabbit is a common symbol for the Mid-Autumn festival. This is a celebration of the full moon and the full harvest.
