Such a creative concept: the theme is reflected in a delightful manner with each item carefully selected.  This Treasury could have been bland if it only featured tan peanut butter, but the curator didn't have that problem she chose a variation in foods, textures and colors throughout the Treasury and placed pops  of color here and there to delight the viewer's eye. The attention this Treasury drew and the tags and promotion the curator provided helped each shop that was featured. What a fun surprise to have found National Peanut Butter Lovers Day!

The bold color choice immediately captures your attention. You will notice that the eye catching color matches throughout but the variation in texture, shine, shape, and placement create movement for the viewer when you look at the items.  The curator obviously  selected them with great care, used good tags for the Treasury and promoted it in order to get views.

Theme: The theme chosen is fun and creative. The curator did a good job of finding objects that brought up a happy feeling,  certainly symbolic of Paradise. I found one problem with the shipwrecked and rusted ship, I see it's value for the color theme, but I would have to deduct a point because I fail to see it's relevance to Paradise.

Color Theme: The color them is perfect, she has chosen colors that are complements on the color wheel.When you look at it, you don't have to wonder what she was going for.

Overall: The eye moves smoothly from one item to the next, nothing stands out and blares out it's difference, because all the items relate in subject and color.

Details:  The curator used all 18 tags but did not use the team tag. She did however, do an  excellent job of promoting the treasury.

Theme: the curator chose "Soft Whispers In Blue". This is an excellent theme for these items. The shade of blue used is subtle and light, the pictures are airy and light. The name fits.

Color Theme: It's obvious, no question that it is blue. She was able to find items in the same shade of blue as well so the integrity of the color theme was not compromised.

Overall: The eye moves easily from item to item giving a pleasing experience and overall nice picture to look at.

Details: The curator used all 18 tags including the team tag, she promoted the treasury and saw to it's success,
