I goofed again and think my comments got posted who knows where.
So I'll begin again - Love your concept of a 'first page' and your layout is definitely a success
Your design, the angled papers, the ribbons and elements positioning - everything makes one want to turn the page, open the book and see the rest!
Congratulations, Eva - I'm ready to open your book!!
and into my favs perchance to lift?
