Exercise 12 - The Colours of the Blog...

I spent some hours personalizing my blog colours and display when I first set it up. 




The phrase ‘social media’ and the way people use it to come together reminded me of the phrase ‘social butterfly’ ...



... and I got a mental image of the famous Monarch Butterfly migration to Mexico and Southern California where they cluster together in the hundreds.  With this image in my head I wanted a butterfly motif and set out to use a photo of the butterflies as my background.  

Once I had found an image that I wanted to use, I took my cues for the colours and the rest of the page design from there.


The image I used is in the public domain (with no copyright) and was obtained from Flickr.  It is by Swallowtail Garden seeds and is entitled Monarch Butterflies Migrating.
