This journal skin is very pretty- the colors are nice, soft and rich but not overwhelming. The colors are nice tones that work well together. I like the fact that the text is between the waves of the flowers, and that the background on the text is solid white. The butterfly as the arrow is also very cute.

However, I feel that the text color should be a different color other than the main background color. The color seems excessive, and there are so many other pretty colors you could use that are present in the flower detail. The title color is also extremely dark, and doesn't go with the rest of the colors. The border within the white text background is also out of the color range from this journal- you could have used a pink or a purple, which would fit better with the overall color scheme.

I feel that the flow could be better on this journal: The title and the mood seem to be extremely close to the edges, and I feel both could benefit from being moved closer towards the main body of the journal. The title, in my opinion, would look nicer if it was closer to the bend in the wave at the top. The mood seems almost like a last minute add on, and comes off as being cramped at the bottom. If you don't have the additional text, the spacing seems very off for it.

My last, and main, issue with the journal is how out of focus and sloppy the flower detail and butterfly is. I was initially drawn to this skin because of the detail, but was extremely disappointed at how sloppy the work is. I don't know if that was your doing, or the doing of whomever made the images. It looks like a bad edit job, of taking that detail from another image and missing spots. There are only about two flowers that are actually not blurred out in the journal. The butterfly is also extremely blurred. It actually makes my eyes hurt a bit to look at it for very long.

So, overall, I feel that the idea is there, the colors are pretty, but there is a lot of work that can be done to improve the execution.
