I like the dark background with the snowflakes and the strips of papers behind your photo to show it off - great layout.
I like the way you think! I like the masking of the dark gray/black paper in the center with the soft snowflake border showing through at the edges. Wonderful layering with the double layeyered circles and the vertical strips at slight angles.
Your thoughts on snow are my feelings exactly. I really like the awesome snowy picture that you've shared on here.
