Matting Rules!


So far the consensus I'm getting is that matting is better. Although there are always exceptions, of course. So today I'm posting a pic of a layout that I matted the pics. If you scroll down far enough on the blog you will see the same layout without matting.
Let me know which you like best.
I want to thank everyone for their comments.

I also wanted to let everyone know that while I do often use wallpaper samples for backgrounds, I always make sure there is some kind of paper between the wallpaper and the photo. Actually, I'm finding that this matting is just the thing. It works well to enhance the pic and to form a barrier of sorts.

Matting pics


Someone on one of the yahoogroups lists I'm on suggested that I mat the pics.

So is another view of the same layout, but with the pics matted.

Please let me know what you think.

I appreciate all tips.
This particular layout, I haven't figured out words to put on it
