This is excellent Marsha! Love your design and the textures!! Great find. I'd almost be tempted to divide this into two images also? How about a panel with it as is and each side divided and placed at opposite ends? Just thinking out load :0) #2538472Noel Baebler March 16, 2006
What a great find, Marsha! Way to give it the rust emphasis! #2539969Marsha S. Smith March 16, 2006
Thanks everyone! Murry, I may try that. But I'm not so good at panels - guess it's time to learn, huh? It is a great idea, though! #2540235Goshka G. March 16, 2006
