A Work In Progress

Welcome ! 

Week 108: MAGIC
 Sorry, both photos seem a bit dark.

A kiss can be magic!
 I used Borders & Backgrounds 3 from Wplus9, PrintWorks and Stampabilities, Love Birds


colourQ challenge #254...

 After watching this HD at YouTube by Dawn I thought I would give this a try. Dawn makes it look so easy!  It was fun ... and I am going to keep trying this until I get much better. It looks a bit moth-like with these colors... but it was fun to learn . So this will be a work in progress for me. Flora & Fauna 2

God Bless!
