A Monochromatic tone background provides the perfect setting for a single photo in this layout. While every smile is a blessing. Seems like the corsage that Mom received generated smiles right and left. Especially important was the smile on her face.

Monochromatic tone – with or with out color?

Color or lack thereof draws the eye to the bright smile on her face. I love the simplicity of this page. Like many of the best things in life; it is short , sweet and to the point. The balloons pull the eye down toward the photo. But because of the grey faded color they recede into the background as well.
