Hi Ann, Jeff, Wayne, Maxy, Gord, Ron, Paddy, Sister Pat, and Barbara!

Thank you for coming to see todays experiment! I liked the original, too, and maybe should have just used it?! HA!

But hey! It's worth it to try new things right? I like the end results but am not CRAZY about her eyes and also that her wings lost their obvious look of wings...Therefore yes...just a royal! Hee hee!

What a beautiful Merry Christmas picture you have added here, Sister Pat! THANK YOU!!!

Nice to see you BROTHER MAX! I feel FAINT! Yes. This is a SP. (Think he will believe me?)

I appreciate all of you stopping in. "Lol" to Gord...Paddy if you stayed connected go to Gord's SQUIRREL image. You sill see what he was talking about with the ZIPPO joke.

Too funny!

Good night folks and thanks again for viewing my "LAB RAT"!

:D
