I haven't been giving out many of these lately.  It's not that there aren't great layouts out there, it's just that I'm not seeing them.  I barely have time to keep up with the new products in search of The Big Drool.  Gallery perusing, that most enjoyable pasttime, has become a casualty of the demanding new pup.

But I'll try to get better!  This was posted today at digishoptalk and I really love it.  I love, love the big ol' palm tree right in the center with the Serious Shadowing Effect.  It gives the layout a pop-up book feel.  The use of all the animals, rattan and twine give this a fun, "safari playhouse" feel, which is just right for the  pictures.  The extracted flamingo at the upper left is an extra special touch that nudges this layout just that much above your average (and I'm afraid I'm talking about myself here, sigh) layout.

Fantastic work!
