Trending: Echo Park Paper "Dots"

I have a teenage daughter who although doesn't completely follow fashion trends, certainly is aware of them. She knows how to put a cute pair of ankle boots with a pair of skinny jeans. She knows how to sweep up her hair to display her latest dangling earrings. Trends are something we watch and are aware of. They can make creating fun and interesting when we try something new or on trend. One of the popular trends in scrapbooking right now are DOTS. Ranging from large to small dots in the widest variety of patterns, colors and styles, dots are one of the most versatile patterns available for designing. Today I thought I'd share some of the Echo Park Paper products that follow that trend.
