I love the use of the black background paper. The trim pieces accented by the thin orange strip and stitches is just enough to tug at my eye. Great masking and love the stroke frame on the lower photo. Your use and placement of the elements is perfection!
That deep purple/black background is perfect for this page with the stacked and stitched stripes up the sides. I like that you have one photo masked, one in a rectangle and 1 in a circle
