beautiful example and love the fun challenge!

To clarify, this needs to be a close-up photo of a person?  As opposed to a close-up of an animal or object...

[SweetSpotKay]

Close up of either person or animal.  I'll make it more clear.

[PezKat]

Cool, thanks!  (I'm more likely to have the animal ones!)

Can there only be one picture on the layout or does there just have to be one close up picture?

[SweetSpotKay]

One photo up close of your subject, Shannon...thanks for asking.

Here's what I did with this close-up of my grandson trying to get his mom's attention through the car window.  Too funny!

 Thanks for looking!

[Yankeegirl]

Thank you for this very fun challenge!  You probably have seen that I light bright colors....and my DGD made it easy for me to pick ORANGE for my monochromatic layout.  Fun to do, and love how it turned out.....I need to do mono layouts more often!   I think this photo shows off her cute freckles framed by her orange hair so well!

Here's mine of my GGD. Photo from my DGD. I loved the softness of the photo and stayed with a pick monochromatic look.
