Cue concrete themes & stories.
The “pretties” on your page can serve a practical purpose: to contribute to the cuing of story meaning begun by photo and title.
The photo on Debbie Hodge’s page about getting ready for a big snowstorm shows the wood stove and wood next to it. The embellishments on the page build on the sense of impending snow with snowflakes, a snowman, white snowy gesso, and a cozy little cut-out house.
