This page is really beautiful Robynne! You did a great job finding a wonderful background for it! The software I use to make my LOs has some restrictions and it doesn't read the layers in the tif files I send to it. Instead it loads as a plain jpg file. So I use templates very much as I use sketches. I place them on my top layer, lower the oppacity ( sometimes I change the blend mode to multiply if I think it will help) and use them as a loose inspiration for how I want my LO to go and where I want to put elements and photos. Maybe you will like this approach better? Anyway, great job with this one!

Thanks for the encouragement Becky.
I'm not sure if I like templates or not. I kind of really like placing the elements, the images and papers myself instead of having to be constrained by the template layout - which is why it is called a layout!!
I used the Halloween Bootiful paper because the original was just a plain cream (or off-white) colour and I thought that was boring. The cobwebs give the page some pizzazz without intruding over the layers in the middle....
The only other element that is out of place is the Discover More brown button at the top. I didnt like where that was placed on the original layout, so I put it somewhere else!! LOL
The colour scheme is also totally different from the bright bold colours that I usually like to use!!!
I will have to try a few more layouts (that have PNGS files that my software can use) to see if they grow on me.

That's fun that you were able to use a Halloween paper in a way that isn't holiday-themed. And this is how I've been doing the bulk of my pages for the project so far, with the layered templates. How did you like working with it?
