For this challenge, I will provide you with a quote. You may use this quote directly in your layout, or you may take inspiration from the quote to create a layout.
DON'T FORGET!
If you choose to use the quote for inspiration rather than place the quote directly in your layout, you must explain how it inspired your page.
This month's quote is:
“Blossom by blossom the spring begins.” – Algernon Charles Swinburne
I look forward to seeing your creations!
