I chose the Fairy tale of the Ugly Duckling.

A family of ducklings always laughs at one of their siblings because he doesn’t look like them. The ugly duckling feels sad and lonely.

When he grows up, he sees his reflection and realizes that he looked different from his siblings because he actually wasn’t a duck at all. He was a swan.

So my challenge to you is to use the color yellow representing baby ducks, squares,mirror images or bling. I happen to have some mirrors in my stash so I opted to put them on my layout. Or you could mirror the image like I did with the squares on the left side and the right side reflecting the same identical
look.
Here is my example:

Have Fun! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

What a great example, Tamara. I don't think I have much yellow, but I'll look.
