Helen
I like the layout with one primary image and several smaller insets. It tells a story.
I like the old "barnwood" background and would prefer that the entire background was just the wood boards. The right side and bottom don't "tell" much. If the entire BG was just all old wood boards there is no doubt. ..just some wood boards on an old building. Make sense?

Love the layout of your page Helen. So much of interest to see in each of the individual photos. Lovely toning throughout the page and that rough edged frame around the whole page just sets it off nicely.

I, too, like the large photo, small photos design. Background is a good choice - it adds interest to the page.

I like the old "barnwood" background and would prefer that the entire background was just the wood boards. Well that will be easy enough to do as I actually saved my layers this time anticipating some suggestions. I did have a plain board background but couldn't get it to "look right". I changed it to the one you see above for the reason Janice stated. When I come back on later I will share my original background plus another one that your comment has inspired me to try. |

OK....so here's my original background. I was intent on using a picture from Smithville.  After reading Clive's comment I thought of another background from a different location that I could try. I think this one may look best, but I do still like the original one I posted. Wasn't sure about having the font in a red tone but black didn't show up.  |

They all look good Helen, but I really like the original version with the red stained wood the best. Lovely way to display all the interesting things about this place.

so here's my original background. I was intent on using a picture from Smithville. I prefer either of these to the original one you posted. The backgrounds are less "cluttered" (that's too strong) than your first post. The insets stand out better IMHO. |
