For the November 2025 Color Play challenge, where @JeanneMN challenged us to use one of our own photos. I decided to use this vintage hand-colored heritage photo of one of my ancestors, Rosa Belle. I just love the heart-shaped comb in her hair! And I felt that Natali Design's Fall Afternoon All...

I agree, Linda! Thank you, Debby and Marianne, for sharing your tips and tricks, too! :lovey3:

What an exuberant celebration in the autumn leaves! I love it! You've created a beautiful corner border with the flowers, leaves, lantern, and butterfly. :kitty1:

Beautiful girls with lovely smiles. You've created a very cheerful page to celebrate them and their school photos. :beatingheart:

Oooh! Yes! Sign me up for the ice cream! I like the curled edges on the top photo and how the lower photo corners are tucked into the paper. Very clever corner border with flowers, coral, fish, and a sparkly crab! :kitty1:

Hi @Dady! Love the way you blended this photo into the background. Such a big, beautiful pumpkin, too! I like the stitching all around and the "so this happened..." text! Lovely corner border from a flower, leaves, and ephemera. :kitty1:

Your floral corner border is so delicate and seems to go well with the vintage feel of the peeling bark and the statue. Lovely! :heartpumppink:

Such a cheerful layout! I love the grandchildren running and playing. And I especially love how you echoed the rainbow in the photo with the rainbow in the background of the layout. :kitty1:

How cool! I love that this appears to be a framed photo with floral details added. You've done an amazing job creating a corner floral cluster and I like that dangling heart! :kitty1:

Hello! I love your beautiful photo of the autumn colored leaves. And I like the grouping of embellishments in front of the central brown leaf: the boot, mushroom, and acorn. Very nicely done! :kitty1:

There are so many beautiful details here, beginning with the reflection of the flames in Mark's glasses. Sparkly glitter, that gorgeous detailed ribbon, the scattering of lavender beads. Terrific frame to showcase the photo! :beatingheart:

Hello! What a perfect photo and beautiful smile for that photo mask! Love the soft tones and that gorgeous floral cluster in the corner. :kitty1:
