Default Puckers at leaf corners

I have been working on my first needle turn applique project, and it seemed to be going well. It is a large piece of background fabric with 38 leaves. I noticed some puckers at my outer leaf points, but they didn't seem too noticeable. Tonight I finished the leaves and pressed the block, and now that the background fabric is smoothed out, those puckers are much more noticeable. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong at the points to make this happen, as there are no puckers anywhere else besides the points. Has anyone else encountered this when appliqueing outer points?
