Beautiful collection with so many designs. As to what shapes I use a variety of shapes on layouts and I think it’s what goes with the pictures, so I quite often use half circles, triangles, rectangles but more and more I’m trying to using some of my stamps and die sets for large flower blooms, etc.
My favorite shape to use in layouts would be stars! I love using stars and squares would be next!!
