28 Henna on your little hands

Hello there. My Page has the following -
The Scheme - All the colors
Evidence - Repetition (the photograph used twice), Metal (leaves), Shadows (created under the hands using chalks)
Testimony - Used the IW - INDULGE. I wrote a long letter (adhered at the back of the page) to Saanvi expressing my gratitude to her for helping me rediscover my roots. Although I continue to be a tomboy, I celebrate my country, its festivals, culture and traditions through my children. So who is INDULGING whom ?
For the complete story behind the picture and close-ups, pls visit my blog - http://scrapbooksfromindia.blogspot.in/2012/07/henna-on-your-little-hands.html#links
TFL and your lovely comments.
I apologise for the rather dull shot of the LO. It is raining here and the editing software compromises the color scheme. I tried my best to improvise.

Comment by Sylvia Mellander Ekman on July 20, 2012 at 3:50pm: I agree with Jacynthe -Great idea to soften that somewhat busy (but oh so beautiful) background pp. Love the silhouette cut hands and all the goodies on here. Fab work, sweetheart!

Comment by Jacynthe Loubier on July 18, 2012 at 7:45pm: Anupama, what a beautiful looking layout! I love how you applied white paint over the background paper so that the busy flowery pattern doesn't interfere with the rest of your design. I love the repetition of the photo. Your daughter is so pretty. Love those fancy birds as well. TFS:)

Comment by Debbi Tehrani on July 18, 2012 at 3:23pm: Wow, Anupama! This is stunning on so many levels...the photos, the story, the sparkles, the flourishes that mimic the henna designs. My favorite detail is the cut-out picture of her hands!
