Thanks, LonK, for your encouragement. My problem is that I'm almost out of time now. My husband and I are leaving this weekend on a trip to San Diego (our wedding anniversay present to each other).

I have downloaded quite of few of those fairies -- just to have in case.

I thought I recognized Stephanie's name, and I certainly did. She's also an instructor at "LVS Online" where I've taken numerous courses, but unfortunately none of hers.

Thanks again and good luck with your entry.

1. lonk - has the right over-the-top feeling, good composition, and room for print. But scratch those doggone fairies!

Thank you, lurch.

Is this more to your liking? (A little less faerie-ish.) We aim to please!

Much, much better! I particularly like the one peeking from behind the bush. Actually, that's the only 'resident' you really need. Do I sound like an art director? . . . or maybe an advanced case of "them as can, do, them as can't, teach"
