Awesome hand extraction and out of bounds effect!!! Love the diagonal flow of the layout moving from the cluster, to the photo, back to the other cluster!
I missed your layout back in the fall, and I am so glad I had a chance to catch it as I went through your gallery today! Your extraction of her hand and the way you allowed it to go out and over the photo frame is both whimsical and masterful. It is absolutely beautifully shadowed! And those leaves beneath the frame? Not only do they create a lovely base, similar to the effect you would get from a paint splat, but they evoke the fallen leaves under foot that get swept up and caught in the cracks and crevices during the month of November. Simply BRILLIANT!! This layout is going directly into my Favorites!
