Inspired by Citrus Slices
Hi everyone! Alex here today with a fun inspiration piece I found on Pinterest. I fell in love with the arrangement and colors of these citrus slices. I wanted to print it and use it as it is for my background, but that wouldn't be much fun, would it? Instead, I followed the arrangement of the...
Awesome ideas! I love that you always keep it real--I can totally associate to having it be easier to show spots because even though I clean up between projects, I rarely am pile free. :)
