Start2Finish: Snapdragons
This Start2Finish features one photo and the use of a mask. I think the use of a mask on a page gives even the creatively challenged person a stunning page. A mask adds instant design without any work. This page is deceptive in that it really doesn’t take a lot of elements to create. The main element is the photo with a mask applied. And then a handful of embellishments to enhance the page.
