Jan, I really like your entry. Like I said in the gallery, I like how the placement of the images and the interesting background allow the eye to travel all over the card.
Yes, I do think you are getting ahead to other topics that could be (and some of them I did plan on) covered in future challenges.
However, I also think that so many of our stamps are really well designed. I think that sometimes the design of our card does put the stamp in the center, but that the stamp itself is designed to be balanced by the rule of thirds (and other design elements). I wonder if anyone agrees or disagrees with that. I noticed that more with my larger stamps.
Thanks so much for participating!
