We spent New Year's in Palm Springs. The hat in the multimedia has the same form as the palm trees - FotoInspired worked for the group of photos. I balanced palms and colors across the pages, adding black & white bows in a visual triangle (some from MM, some from the FI template).
The road runner is an extraction. Keep the background stark white (color is very stark in the dry air of the desert) with some transfers added for texture.
