  HI Mata..I was wondering the same thing as Cathy..what is the background and how did you do that? i've never seen a background like that and it's totally awesome! Whatever you did to manipulate it to shine on the rose as you did was very clever & excellent! The image, title and dedication truly blend together like "us ladies" ;-) (and men) at BP :-) ...and thank you, Mata..the same goes for you, too! :-)
