Wow Michelle this is a stunning image, love the colours, lighting and the effects, great work! #621023

Thank you very much Lynne!
I originally entered this a few months ago with a Textured effect on it & I decided to give it a try without the texture but still keep the lighting effect.
Happy Theme day!
