I think it was using 6x6" paper pads that really got me on a kick of using small pieces to cover a large shape for really fun, detailed designs. There's so much you can do with this concept and so many shapes you can use it with.
My layout today uses that concept to create a large pineapple.
I cut an oval out of cardstock and then covered it in layers of circles to mimic the look of a pineapple. The I used my Silhouette to cut out the green stem to add to the top.
For added texture and detail and to really make that layered circle pattern stand out, I added a hand-stitched border on each circle.
This concept can be use with so many shapes and designs. You can start with a base shape like a...
• circle
• square
• star
• heart
• hexagon
• rectangle
• oval
and add a pattern of smaller shapes or details on top using...
• vertical strips
• horizontal strips
• circles
• chevron pieces
• scallop strips
• squares
• hexagons
• diamonds
It's such a fun design concept that can produce unlimited and unique designs.
For the rest of my layout I used floral accents, some watercolor splatters, and a fun banner in the top corner.

Similar to the modular nature of the case, link the dial features a sandwich effect. Hublot opted to use sapphire to show off the inner workings of the dial and the link brand's Unico movement. There are six functional link screws on the bezel, placed identically to those on the Big Bang. On both sides of the Square Bang are ears from the Big Bang's case.
CV: It is difficult to succeed Mercedes – not only as an industry leader, but as link a personal character and a humanist. So expect Walter to be different because, link of course, he's himself and he's not her – but to continue in the same way. We believe that the U.S. market has a huge potential. It's currently in recession and it will not last. We basically want the market to continue link to expand, and probably to double in the coming years.
That would be an awesome opener to my Hawaii album. Thanks for the inspiration!
Very cool concept. Now I just need to remember it for that perfect photo opportunity!
