The Orient is a unique Far East inspired collection. Vivid hues of pink, orange red and yellow along with a muted gold contrast with black for a stunning color palette. I couldn't decide if I should use a muted paper or a more clean version so you will find both included at no upcharge. You have a nice selection or oriental prints and "almost solids" as a back drop for the elements and photos. So many things, including the written language form Kanji, are placed in a verticle format in the Far East. You will find hanging element to simulate this style and an adorable tile alphabet that can be hung on the included tassled hangers or used horizontally without the hangers. The wordart has a Zen feel to it but has been designed to work with your typical scrapbook photos. All in all this collection will give the wonderfully exotic oriental feeling to your scrapbook pages. The Orient Collection coordinates with the November 2010 Blog Train Blog's Blog Train freebie.
