simple idea - stunning effect - although I dearly want the light to be a shade of purple as thats the regal colour I associate with royalty #1691618

Marie Fields August 08, 2005

Thanks so much, Paul, Joey, Carla, Tammy, Leanne, and Julie for your great comments!

Julie, you're right... purple would have probably been better. I was thinking "royal" blue! : ) Actually this was part of a series I did for my son so he chose the color. Thanks again for the suggestion!
