AnnaLift of The Smokestacks by helendubois (left side of page). The 3 vertical palm trees reminded me of the smoke stacks.
Since I can't devote a whole double page to a photo of palm trees (no matter how pretty) I used FotoInspired 3A to include 7 photos from the same day, a fun day at a local park & beach.
Framed Masks 9 - the photo is clipped to both mask layers. Stains are colored and duplicated to extend the blue sky.
For the 3rd page in a row I've used WaterColor Palm Trees in the background with a photo clipped to them for color - here they extend the vertical lines of the palms in the photo.
When I added elements and textures, I attempted to create a circular flow around the pages.
