  Hi Mumj!!! What the heck are you doing up at this hour? Tell me you are starting your day and not just ending it!? HA!

Time for me to crawl to bed now. 3:38 here!

Anyway-I was trying to steer away from the frac filter for a time. :)

Thanks for commenting!

  Photobucket VERY MUCH:

Carol, Tammy, Robert, Wm and Paddy!

So glad you like it!

Paddy- I have tried. I have come to the conclusion to really do this one justice I would need to learn "layers" and give it a new base and background.

I love the reflections on the wall...And the container and the crystals there, but the table sort of wrecks it for me...???

I appreciate all you guys said!

  Hi Sister Karen and PADDY! :)

The BG is a PSE7 Layer. Then I used the healing tool to make the purple waves. The trick was that I dragged just a bit of the edge of the bottle with me each with the healing tool. This trailed the design of the bottle into the image.

At least I THINK that is how I did it! Hehe! I made this a while back. The "MT" seemed to fit the bill for this one so I am re-entering it. :)

Thanks for visiting!

-Laura (Swanee)

  Okay...let me put my STRONGER glasses on and see who I am looking at! AAhhhhhhh! It's Nancy, Gina and SSSKIKI!!!

:D

Thanks you all so much! I have so much fun in DDR when I take the time to go there! :)I really appreciate your words of encouragement!

Do you know I did actually think you were Karen Kessler, Kiki! Your Avatars are almost the same right now and she visits me almost every day so I just glanced and assumed it was she! So sorry about that!!

HEY! I owe you a visit! See you there!

  Well, SSSLala. Karen and I have the same initials and now avatars that look the same? That's so funny. And don't worry about mixing us - Im sure she's a lovely person, so I should be proud.
And this fascinating image is a fav of mine.

  Another beautiful combination of pastel colors and elegant lines, Pom. I love the original glass decanter(?) --- so classy! And I agree with you: the refracted light on the walls is lovely.
Like so many others, I like both images.
Fine work!
