Looks very paper like. I would have a hard time being convinced that this is digi. Your shadows are super realistic.
Congrats to him on his retirement. I really like this page design.. I love the row of three focal pieces and I love love the torn paper and stitching.
I agree with the first comment! This does appear to be a very traditional style scrapbook page! The shadow on the torn edge is amazing and I love the scattered beads! I am a sucker for any type of stitching so I have to say I love it on this page!
