Hello Ladies & Gentlemen. . .

I have some diecuts of leaves that I purchased at my LSS that I'm using in a fall themed layout. There are "perforations" in the die cut where the "veins" are in the leaves. What should I do to make them look more "natural" -- the "veins" I mean. Right now they just look like leaves with dashed holes in them . . . .

TIA!!
