  2. Wow what a gorgeous shot of the cardinal! I need to play more with textures, but the shot I used this week already was pretty busy so I didnt want to add more to it! Take a look to see what I mean!

  10. Hi Nancy! Thank you for the note about free software. I was trying to play around (without a success) and went back to my Picasa. I still have no idea how to make your backgrounds work. I digress. Have a great Sunday! :)
