What do you ladies see when you look at my group?
I see a beautiful array of creams/tans/ for the background, and I like the light. If you drop using it completely, then the few you have made may stand out too much, you know? You will be able to gauge it as you go by putting the group shots like this together. If it starts to stand out too much, you can always start adding a few more in. I love your backgrounds, and am so impressed that you've been able to keep the tone so perfect with the use of a variety of fabrics. I'm using the same fabric over and over because i'm too afraid to mix it and blow it. You've got the magic touch with yours!
