Hi Mumj!!! What the heck are you doing up at this hour? Tell me you are starting your day and not just ending it!? HA!Time for me to crawl to bed now. 3:38 here!
Anyway-I was trying to steer away from the frac filter for a time. :)

WOW, magnificent transformation here, Laura! I like the original also & woinder what it would look like cropped & adjusted? Just wondering! Another super job indeed! #8335721Laura E. Swan January 27, 2010
VERY MUCH:Carol, Tammy, Robert, Wm and Paddy!
So glad you like it!
Paddy- I have tried. I have come to the conclusion to really do this one justice I would need to learn "layers" and give it a new base and background.
I love the reflections on the wall...And the container and the crystals there, but the table sort of wrecks it for me...???
I appreciate all you guys said!

I didn't see this one before, SSSLala. How fascinating is this? How on earth did you make it? #8703604Patrick Rouzes June 18, 2010
Laura, you have a super creative mind to create such a lovely image from the original! A very appealing image & superb DDR work! I like the original also! WTG! #8703841Laura E. Swan June 18, 2010
Hi Sister Karen and PADDY! :)The BG is a PSE7 Layer. Then I used the healing tool to make the purple waves. The trick was that I dragged just a bit of the edge of the bottle with me each with the healing tool. This trailed the design of the bottle into the image.
At least I THINK that is how I did it! Hehe! I made this a while back. The "MT" seemed to fit the bill for this one so I am re-entering it. :)
Thanks for visiting!

Thanks you all so much! I have so much fun in DDR when I take the time to go there! :)I really appreciate your words of encouragement!
Do you know I did actually think you were Karen Kessler, Kiki! Your Avatars are almost the same right now and she visits me almost every day so I just glanced and assumed it was she! So sorry about that!!
HEY! I owe you a visit! See you there!
