I noticed you have a handful of transparent grunge overlays. The ones you have are great but I would love to see you add some more of them so I can use them throughout my book without any obvious repetition.

Several dozen grunge textures were added this weekend for your convenience. If you click on the stickers tab to the left of the workspace and type grunge into the search box and hit the ENTER key you will see a list of all our grunge textures (see example below)

Sure Jean. Some of the grunge overlays are used to give a worn or weathered look to a page. For example, in our heritage album a variety of splatter and speckle patterns were used. If you look closely at the page edge on the right, you'll see the effect. This was done by setting it to 5-10% opacity and the color to brown. It's subtle, but you can see it better in print.

On a different layout a combination of grunge texture. Semi-transparent dark blue to give some texture to the medium blue background, and a variety of tan splatters to frame the photo.

Or you could drop a crack overlay over some text to give it a weathered look.

Your only limit is your imagination really.
