What an amazing black ~ white photo of this darling little lady. I love your layered background choices and the bit of grunge on the background. Wonderful layers below the photo and on the edge. I like the addition of the circular shape to your layering. I like the way you used the word strips and the vertical titling.

Amazing Connie! I love how your photo just pops right out at you even over all thats going on on the layout. I love those buttons and ribbons too! Perfect colors and perfect amount of paint splatters. Awesome job! LOVE!
