Layouts that use a patterned paper as the background. It can be your layout or someone else's, I don't care. I have scrapper's block when it comes to using patterned papers in large doses. I really want to. I just can't. So help me out!

Most my patterned BGs are soft patterns... but here's one I did yesterday with a big, bold pattern!
