Trends & Techniques - Photo Series

I am seeing lots of LOs with a series of photos. I want you to make a LO using at least 3 pics in a series and use the technique of pop dotting some of your elements!

Here is a great example by Lucy

Make a LO or project that uses the technique of color blocking. Scrapjazz has a good explanation of what the technique is and how to use it.

Here's one from Lucy
