If you see good design USE IT!
There is a term in the scrapbooking world called "scraplift". The idea is that if you see an idea that you like somewhere, you can 'lift it' for your own work.
The etiquette of the scraplift is such that you can borrow any idea - design, layout, colour scheme...whatever, but that you give credit to the original source.
The above example is a card that I scraplifted from a promotional bookmark our school library was giving away to celebrate the winners for the Governor General's Literature Awards. I think the bookmark is brilliant, and I 'lifted' the layout (but changed to a landscape format), the colour combinations, the collage colour background, and the large, central black and ivory image.
