I know what you mean. This is a fun hobby.

Did you use Photoshop, Elements, Painter or [what] on this one?

Danny, I am using Photoshop CS2. I have tried painter and really like it, but its not in the budget for a while. I'm guessing you changed the title of this thread?

re: I'm guessing you changed the title of this thread?

I did. "I just cant seem to stop doing these....." did not connect with the original title of "HELP..." Members tell me they appreciate thread titles that are indicative of content, so I change 'em on occasion.
