Hey! Good morning everyone!!! What a nice treat to see you all here. :DI was originally going to call this "I'm Smelting"........ (How funny Mr. Tree!!! I should have!) but the TIN MAN wizard of Oz slant/joke was too long once I wrote it out...) so I went with "Smelted Sister" ...(The Sister We Don't Talk About)...Changed my mind AGAIN!
HA!
Such drama. Just went with SMELTED and thought I'd let you guys have fun with it!
Thank you so much: Early-Pearly, Steel Eyes, Tony, Mr. Tree, Dominick, Jeff, Steve, Courtenay, Ron, Tiia, Monnie and Renata! :D
If I haven't made it to your gallery yet today I will soon.
Have enjoyed your comments. They made me smile.

Hi Tommy, Stef, Robert, Denny, Barbara and Gord!OM GOSH! Denny! You are right! I think this poor person might have been a tourist that just melted in the swelter! HA!
Thanks all for your encouragement and for the smiles.
Gord, I agree and even more so, "reinvention". I sure do have fun the deeper I dive into DDR! Instead of a scuba diver I am a digital diver!
(Hey! Maybe I will name one of my creations that sometime! COOL!!!)
Sure enjoyed all of your comments on this way out image.
