There are several ways to use the color Yellow on your pages to convey emotion or a "feel" to go along with the theme and photos on your layout. I chose to use an analogous color scheme, which is choosing 3-5 colors that are side by side on the color wheel.. I chose yellow as my dominant color, by using it for the background. Then I incorporated smaller amounts of Orange, Green, and Blue. I wanted to convey a happy feel on this page, because our daughter was enjoying the beach so much. This color scheme worked great for a fun and happy page.
And just in case you are wondering how I did the sunburst, here is what I did: I took a piece of white cardstock and folded it in half. Then I cut a long, skinny heart shape along the crease, so the shape would by symmetrical. I did this in several different size hearts. Then, I placed the longest heart in the center of the two photos on the left and traced it with a brown Zig pen. I repeated this with the smaller shapes outward from the largest heart shape.
