Well, OK! Black?? I really like the sprayed stenciled effect on the word strip! I like the way the stacked papers tug at my eye and the cluster is fabulous!!
And bless your heart for not turning up your nose (well maybe you did inside) and trying to squash his idea ! Wonderful paper choices, just love that plaid background. Your cluster has amazing depth thanks to your great shadows! Really a fun title!
