I just loved the design of this die cut paper so I wanted to keep the focus of the layout on that. The purple background adds just the right touch to bring out the purple in the die cut. It looks better in person, in the photo it looks to me like the purple isnt quite the right color, but it is. Oh and purple is my favorite color, and I usually have such a tough time scrapping with it, so I was really happy to use it here.
