Wonderfully done Merna, I like the birds it give it a spooky effect. #9456044

Thanks Merna, I'm not new but have recently had a little forced downtime (been in the hospital) and have really enjoyed the opportunity to look at the beautiful work here on BP. Normally, I think I'm "too busy" working and never make the time, so being ill has definitely had it's upside! :0) It's very nice to meet you too, and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!! #9543646
