Description

Well, Now That I Have My New
ADOBE PSE 7
I was able to rework a favorite of mine that
Needed The "Healing Tool" On
ONE SPOT.

Maybe The Judges Will Say
!!! WOW !!!
??? This Time Around ???

No Need To Comment. It's just a rework. Night Night Folks. I'm beat.

NOTE: I WILL DIG UP THE OTHER ENTRY AND
POST IT NEXT TO THIS ONE IN MY GALLERY IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
That healing tool is great!
