Much like the old-old Basic Grey
Once upon a time Basic Grey was the hip cool paper. Everyone had some in their stash. I miss those days. Today paper is super bright, super cheery, super the same @#$%* thing! Sorry but look around and you'll see what I mean. Scrapbook paper should be an accent not the focal point. End rant. I love this paper because it is very interesting, the geometry is both scholastic and kind of mystical magic. The black lines are not as dark as pictured but they do stand out. The background is subdued and interesting in ways that make it rich rather then distracting. The reverse side? A really weird plaid -- go figure. Not for everyone but perfect for me.
