I have been snapping photos of bricks and fabrics for a while, and I have never used them for anything. But, when I saw this texture challenge, I got the camera out again to take some new photos and actually use them.
Here is a photo of the patio doormat left by the previous owners of our house. I left the bits of leaves in because I thought they added character to the photo.

Love the bits of leaves! Great texture shot! Love this! Your Banana Mango kit was just perfect to show off this wonderful texture! Thank you so much for participating!

Woo-hoo! Wonderful texture in the mat. And yes, the leaves do add character to it. The diamond pattern seems to carry on the pattern even. Love this.

I like the texture in this one...gives me the feeling of rough, but makes me want to weave!
I love the texture of your mat! And I like how you have started tagging the layouts 'The Texture Files'.
