Looking for ideas for center block in unique Autumn inspired Table Topper

QuiltE that's cool! I didn't know tape came in "dots." Where do you find that? I bet it would speed things up considerably.
I had troubles with the double sided tape. It either didn't have enough bulk to fill gaps in between the pressed items and the board or it stuck too well. I kind of dull the stickiness by sticking it on my jeans and then pulling it off.
Actually I don't use a regular inkjet printer, although that works too. Ours is an ink jet printer but it is made for artists and photographers: An HP Photosmart ProB9180. It takes 8 different colored ink cartridges... hubba hubba! I did comparisons with that too and the photo quality and color nuances and intensity is way ahead of our regular printer's capabilities. Jeepers, I sound like an ad for HP. ;)

Remember the old saying ... if it ain't broke ... don't fix it!! :)
(and with this, I think it's time for me to hit the "hay")

The border is spectacular. The block brings it down. To my thinking, a vase of flowers and leaves(a la Baltimore Album, or a wreath of leaves would be a better approach, although I do like the idea of only leaf quilting too.
