My 10 and 8 year old in Storm Trooper costumes dabbing at their school Harvest Festival.
The costumes (and most of the photo) are white with some black and a tiny bit of red.
It doesn't fit my Halloween papers or my scraps of (blue) Star Wars paper.
At least I have a title idea... The World's First Dabbing Stormtroopers" if I ever figure out the rest of the page...

I think a mostly white photo would work with just about any type/color paper. Maybe look for something with a graphic black & white pattern and accent with red to accentuate the starkness of the costumes or something with skeletons (I saw tonssss of shirts of skeletons dabbing around Halloween).
Maybe work the Harvest Festival part and use fall colors which includes red?

I'd probably skip the themed papers and go with basic patterns like stripes or polka-dots.

I think they'd really stand out on plain black paper. The focus is the cute Storm Troopers and add a fun title or caption.

Cut out the storm troopers, like a paper doll?
Maybe if we saw the pics, we could be of better help.

Maybe you can change the photos to black & white instead of color?

I'd go with a White background, some black patterned paper and a few pops of red like a label with the date. Putting the title in the Star Wars font would tie it all in. This layout by Pam Baldwin popped in my head as I read your post since the photo is mostly white with some black. It could be a jumping off point for you, maybe?  is a layout that came to mind with a photo with mostly white on a white background but here is a link to a bunch of Halloween layouts in the Studio Calico gallery - and lots are on white backgrounds with some black patterned paper and a pop of color. Put red where there's orange and it sounds like it might fit your photos. |

I found a black paper with white stars (the back of a Halloween paper actually) for the background, a gold and white diagonal stripe to go behind the photo, and cut red glitter stars with my Big Shot. I'm still working on finding a font to cut the title out with. I might post a photo to the gallery if I can get a flickr account set up, I'm having technical difficulties... Thanks for all the ideas and helpful suggestions  |

I know you decided what to do, but I generally do not coordinate theme photos with papers - Halloween pictures get halloween paper. Christmas pics get Christmas paper, birthday gets birthday paper. For me, the colors of the photos does not matter a bit. When my sons look at my layouts, they never ever notice if the paper coordinates with the photos. It's just not important to me.
Now if I have the perfect paper then I would try to incorporate Halloween elements, etc.

I can't seem to get my activation code for a flickr account to work, so I posted on my blog instead, if anyone is interested in what I came up with... Stormtroopers |

Your layout came together beautifully - the background paper choice is perfect and I love the red and yellow with it.
