Brilliant brick effect here Laura. Looks like a fancy neighbourhood alright. #10026308

Laura E. Swan level-classic March 07, 2012

Ann, this new program is so much fun! At first I only thought I'd like about 20 different choices of filters but ALAS. The more I snoop around trying different images the bigger blast I am having!

Thanks for the great feedback!

-Laura :D

(Good night all! I'll be back tomorrow!) #10026331

OK, maybe it's time to leave the bugs and various insects behind and broaden my horizons, reach for the sky and dip into my purse for the Smart Photo Editor...you are just having too much fun - it's infectious...well, infectious in a very good way, Ms. LOTW...:) :) Very cool choice of effects - always love your creative thinking...if you could spare a huge dose of it - send some FedEx - pronto! :) :) #10027130

Are you sure you are not the salesperson for this software? You are doing one heck of a sales job with your wonderful renderings. This one is extremely 'neat'. #10027935

Laura E. Swan level-classic March 08, 2012

Hi Everyone! :)))) I've enjoyed your comments so much. I get pretty enthused if I stumble across a good program or filter, (In case you haven't noticed), and this one is a dandy for only 20.00! I mean, REALLY! :) !! I don't know if it's still on sale or not but I feel lucky to have gotten it for that price.

You know, one of the parts I LOVE about being a member here is that we are here not only as friends, but we can learn and teach and enjoy and admire and help one another. I find great joy in sharing what I have learned and what I like.

I'd love a job where I tried products and judged them for consumers. To help them save time in choosing the best one. :) (How am I doing Heather??? HeeHee!)

Or maybe a MOVIE CRITIC! WOW! THAT would be a REALLY fun job! :)))

OKAY off my sales soap box, :))), but honestly, if you ever meet me in a grocery store and ask me which cleanser I feel is best, I will certainly tell you, without a shadow of a doubt! HA!

Thanks everyone and thanks for the fun! Also thanks for everything you have said here. You guys are great!

-Laura :D

Now...back to my LABORATORY to cook up something new and exciting for you guys! :))) Wish me luck and we should all keep an eye on Lydia's gallery, too. She might be posting some cool stuff using this filter too! :))) !!!! #10028000

Wm Nosal March 08, 2012

VERY COOL! Laura! #10028022

Stan Kwasniowski March 08, 2012

John Connolly March 08, 2012

A wonderful presentation Laura, I can see this filter getting lots of work soon! #10029009

Terry Cervi level-deluxe March 08, 2012

I agree with Val, Laura! You're just having too much fun by yourself!!! LOL!! This is another terrific filter you've used with wonderful results! #10029700

Emile Abbott level-deluxe March 11, 2012

You really know how to be creative, outside the standard boxes and I just love your unique talent Laura. #10033370

Mary K. Robison March 12, 2012

Like Alice down the Rabbit Hole, you've tumbled into a world of magical (and mind-blowing) things, Pom!
I hope you left a trail of bread crumbs (make that croissant crumbs) to help get you back to the everyday world occasionally.
But one-of-a-kind creations like this, existing first in your mind and then on the screen, are giving both you and us real pleasure. So have at it, my friend! Turn loose the full force of your imagination, and enjoy every minute of your discoveries! #10035506

Laura E. Swan level-classic March 12, 2012

Hi Wm! Thank you!! :)

*

It sure is Stan and Thanks! :)

*

Hey Steve! I sure have! I hope I can come up with more cool stuff to share. :D Thanks!

*

Hi Brother John! :D I think you are right. I'm pretty sure I saw steam coming out of the sides of my lap top a time or two! HeeHee!

*

Hi Terry! I remember when I was a little girl hearing my mom say I was "self entertained"...Guess nothing has changed?! HeeHee! :))) Except now I really enjoy entertaining all of you, too! :))))) Thanks for the fun and kind comments!

*

Thanks Emile! :) A high compliment that I really appreciate!

*

Hi Mare! Take my hand. I'll show you the way to the tea party! I used cinnamon bun bread crumbs so even the smells would be memorable as we find our way there and back! Thank you for always inspiring me to do my best and to carry on! One lump or two?

-Laura :D , Sis, Pom and good old what's 'er name! :))) #10035581
