With this layout I enhanced the background paper flower on the top right by adding embellishments on top of it. Also added strips of paper on the top and bottom of the photos with brads to add a different look.

Use spotted paper and spotted ribbon and then reflect those spots in hand cut out spots to the left of your layout. All in the same colours of course. lol

Hints:
I had some distance photos of animals so I cropped them right down to the animal and matted them on corrugated/crimped card stock. Putting angles on photos and title gives this page a "fun" feel.
