If you had a number of inserts, you could compliment the background colors to highlight the items for sale. For the outside, you do something that is fun, like you and that will make you and buyers happy.<br />Decoupage, done right, can be fun, classy, artistic or whatever. I believe that you can get a lot of bang for your buck with inserts.suzieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883115039145453043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-36738288321024416102012-09-13T08:02:39.358-04:002012-09-13T08:02:39.358-04:00Thanks for the suggestion!
