Description: The image shows an open journal spread across two pages. The left page features a vivid close-up photograph of an orange flower with layered petals varying in shades of orange and yellow, resembling a dahlia. The texture is smooth, and the colors are bright and striking. The right page contains handwritten text and a decorative design. At the top right corner, there is a handwritten date, "3.28.16." Central on the page, inside a rectangular box bordered with small spirals at each corner, is the phrase "one thing at a time" written in colorful markers—green, blue, red, and purple. Surrounding the box are repeated lines of handwritten text in blue ink. At the bottom of the page is the printed text "Christian Lacroix."
