    I love doing clusters. Here are my elements:
    8 leaves, 2 different kinds: 3 of one and 5 of other
    4 sprigs of berries: 2 of green and 2 of reddish
    3 large blue flowers
    3 rust colored flowers
    3 white flowers
    3 navy flowers
    2 ropes
    Totals: 28 elements
    Not part of cluster: paint and 3 word tags...although one of them touches the berries. Please LMK if this passes. I love your cluster work, @SeattleSheri

    Tough for me, but fun challenge! Thank you!

    I used a kit I bought finally for specific photos! My son said he was Harry Potter when he was young and I made him a cape for Halloween. He would sign his papers, "Harry Potter". So funny. So here is my first page with this kit for my son's stint as a wizard.

    Elements used (I tried to overdo it so I would be in compliance. :-) )
    1 wand
    2 different feathers
    1 snitch
    1 Hogwarts logo
    1 tag (added lighting bolt to tag)
    1 star-cluster (4 times to fill area)
    1 broom
    1 platform pin
    1 all aboard banner
    1 frame
    1 banner "up to no good"

    Here is my page for this one... The items allowed were a little confusing... since I would have thought we could create a cluster with anything, not just specific items... for instance, I have a mosquito , seems like it would be just fine, but not on the list because it is a specific... Mosquito's are BIG in Alaska and I love this one....Hope I have done it correctly... It was also frustrating for me that this site does not have any Theatrical product... I found movies , but nothing theater... Interesting, I thought... a also searched for a couple of other categories and came up empty would have happily bought a few things to get the freebie kit...

    Here are my items ...more than required to cover things that might no be allowed... I have 15 items

    3 blue flowers
    2 white flowers
    1 striped flower
    1 branch
    1 leaf stalk
    1 flair
    1 washi tape
    1 camera charm
    2 confetti'
    1 mosquito
    1 theatrical mask from Pinterest
    1 circle stamp behind

    Hi Donna, I will accept it as long as it's shadowed - I'm categorizing it as a "paper bit" :)

    Sorry you found it confusing. Basically anything that is not a photo, clipped paper, hardware, brush/paint, stitches or an alpha is an "element" as long as it's shadowed (since that was another rule). So of your list, the theatre masks and circle stamp don't qualify, but everything else is good ... and since you still have at least 12 items without those, your page meets the requirements!

    Pretty much my whole thing is my cluster - I added all elements then popped a photo in the middle and some background paper and paint splatters. All have a drop shadow.
    5 flowers
    1 ribbon
    2 frames
    1 set of scatters
    1 ripped paper
    1 mini tag
    1 foliage
    1 butterfly
    In cluster but not counted - washi tape and tassels.
