Over the recent festive period I was inspired by the beautifully wrapped gifts which my family were fortunate to receive.
The twirled gift ribbon particularly caught my eye and inspired me to attempt to incorporate paper twirls in to my next scrapbook page design.
Whilst putting the page together I knew I didn’t want the twirled paper to take away focus from the main image, so set about using them as an extension of the page accents in hope of drawing the viewer’s eye across the page.
By cutting thin ribbon strips of patterned paper I was able to achieve the twirled effect by gently drawing the paper across the blade of my scissors and thus creating gentle twirls which tumble from the top to the bottom of the page design.
Inspiration certainly is all around and I hope I have inspired you today to try adding paper twirls to your page or project designs!

The term "sunflower clan" is used to refer to people who, just like a sunflower, always look on the bright side of life and are resilient to pressure as they easily forget about unhappiness.

Mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I'm more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful.
