A tip from Laura:
While butterfly embellishments (not to mention dragonflies, bumblebees and ladybugs) make adorable page accents as is, I love adding movement to the page with penwork. For this girly layout, I used a black pen to add heads and antennae to the butterfly brads, then added personality with dashed, curvy flight patterns. Use dashes like I did, or use solid or dotted lines for your own personality!
