For this week's Studio Starts challenge at Scrapbookgraphics, we're playing with neutrals. American Heritage defines a "neutral" color as one that as "not defining or striking." When I think of neutrals, I think of the washed out browns, grays and tans. And, while those colors may not make the most striking kits, they sometimes do make the most striking layouts. There's something about a neutral background that just makes a photo pop off the page.
I've done a couple of neutral layouts this week, both featuring my grandson (surprise, surprise). :-)
