What appears in the designs
The stamps focus on autumn foliage rather than naming a separate landmark on every design. Across the set, close and distant views show leaves, trees, reflected color and layered seasonal landscapes. The 10 images are coordinated, but they are not 10 views of one park or one state.
That distinction matters when identifying the issue: a seller or collector should use the official name, year and 10-design pane rather than assign unsupported locations from scenery alone.
How to choose an autumn design
For a formal invitation, the quieter designs with broad areas of foliage tend to leave the address as the visual focus. Brighter orange and red images are a natural fit for seasonal cards, fall events and October or November correspondence. The visual choice does not change the postage category: every design in the issue is ordinary Forever postage.

Format and current use
USPS issued the set as a 20-stamp pane containing the 10 designs. A genuine unused stamp remains valid at the current ordinary Forever rate. Additional postage may still be required for extra weight, square or rigid envelopes, international destinations or added services.
