Letter L with a twist

Aplha/dictionary challenge…

Letter L with a twist:
we have to include a window on the page (uh?!?)
But browsing the L-words, lavender stuck to me and  immediately the Provence sprung to mind.
And with the Provence came the houses and windows (hurray) over there.
So I started out by painting the background in hues of blue and purple,
printed a  picture of  a picturesque façade and cut this in little squares to create a mosaic.
This also looks like the windows with the dividers.
To finish I added a twig of lavender, not only pretty but now my book also smells nice.

  3. Great idea to add the smell of lavender to your page. A depiction which will 'take you' to Provence every time you open look at it.
