      Thanks Julie! I am trying to learn about figure/ground variations and about how to use the space better (so it's not so crowded). Hopefully things will progress!

      Thanks for the comments. Hope you are well.

    I concur with Julie! Definitely a stunner! I think your use of the "less is more" principle absolutely works on this.

      Thanks Carol,

      It's really hard to know when less is more. It's a real fine and subjective line. Hopefully I can continue to learn how to do this and what it looks like for me. We will see:)

      Thanks as always for your comments and visit. Hope all is well.

    Also, I think those narrow pieces at top and bottom are really key.

    Dear Libby - this is super friend...and the title makes me chuckle too. I am enjoying those light hearted colors too. Still keeping me thinking about the 50's. Have a great weekend. Hugs!

      Thanks Debbie! It's all of that listening to music from the 30's, 40's and 50's that I do during the day. Must be rubbing off!

      Hope you are doing well and that your weather is holding up. We will be getting some rain next week hopefully.

      Thanks for your visit,
      Libby

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it! I reply back in an email if you are signed in and I can see your address. Otherwise I will post the reply here under your comment. I tend to cut and paste my emails too so that others can experience the back and forth which I think is integral to blogging.
