This card is not yet put together. Should it stay as is? Should I use a softer color for the bg and ribbon? Should I junk it and start again? No mojo today, I guess.

I rather like your signature red framing & bow. (a lighter color might tend to make the whole thing look 'washed out'.) I usually lay out 8 or 10 different colors and often I am VERY surprised at what make the focal image pop. Love that border punch - it really makes an attractive frame.

You know what Anne, whatever makes you happy works for me. If you are not happy with the look, try a lighter background and ribbon colour ... then see if it makes you smile. I am going to come back later and see if you changed anything.

Perfect already. Love the subtle drops in the background.

Love the ribbon treatment and framing. Since you’re looking for suggestions: I would use a darker color for the dress and a lighter shade for the background.

I like the layout...maybe a different color bg as it's similar to the color of the dress...I don't know...I agree with others who say try a couple of different things and see which color looks the best. The main thing is...you made a card today ;)

I think it's lovely. I really like the color combo having been born on Flag Day, red white and blue is a favorite of mine. So if you think it needs something more what about a tiled light blue panel peeking out from under the white one? I really love the paper clip and ribbon. I felt like I was having mojo issues yesterday too. Couldn't even get around to posting either of my cards yet. Maybe it's the weather--except it's finally beautiful out!
