Week 3
This weeks assignment picking colors for webpages. I had fun with this.
This is a test to move the text over off the background. I sure hope it works. This is a double wow for me because I actually created the background from a picture of a santa that I made this year. The santa was created from papier mache, hand sculpted then painted and finished with different accesories. This particular santa is carrying a wreath and birdhouse in one hand and a gold tassel in the other along with a couple of cardinals. My friend and I have been creating these Santas for 10 years now and call our santas and snowmen Lovekins.
The background was also a first time thing, I made that in Paint Shop Pro from the picture. I then added a second layer and with my selection painted ivy on in a lighter color. I then lightened the layer so that the ivy is barely visible but adds a little visual interest to the page.
I'm also curious as to the reason my text doesn't go all the way across the page especially since I am running it on and on and it just stays in the middle. Did I miss something or is this one of the attributes of the blockquote?
