So little time and so much to do!! I did find a few minutes to play in this thread though. I love your artwork Palms! Can't wait to try out the links that you gave us, but for now, a little "cheesy" Christmas card. ;)

Palms, I couldn't find my "good" star for the top and just used some other weird brush, kind of looks like a cottonball gone haywire:dizzy: ...kind of like Tinkerbell in the PETER Pan story, eh? ;0
