Design a 3D paper-cut sculpture of a dress inspired by autumn. Start with a base of falling leaves, layering warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows to capture the season's essence. The dress should have flowing layers that mimic the movement of leaves in the wind, using curling techniques for texture. Incorporate intricate cutouts of leaf patterns throughout the dress, enhancing the theme. Use gradients to blend colors smoothly, giving a rich, warm appearance. The final piece should evoke the beauty and nostalgia of autumn, celebrating nature's transformation in fashion.
