(I always look at an attached image before reading the text of its post.) I thought you'd photographed a cup and added the pink-toed froggie thingies in PSP, making use of Displacement Map. You're quite a XenoDream wizard. Lori

As Ken said in his reply to winning the challenge, it really depends on what you enjoy doing ;-) Thank you for such lovely thoughts about Glenn and me, and the feeling is mutual! Hope you and hubby will be finding your way to our area again soon. I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to wait 'til the snow melts though lol! Gail -- Nightingail's Gallery http://nightingail.com/
