Maureen you have some very lovely images in your gallery. You selection of the background texture is just perfect for this picture and makes me want to think of the work as fine art. I'll have to do some reading up on Skeletal Mess. I will contact you through the BP.cpm interface to see if I can get a better understanding of the filters and their compatibility with Photoshop CS4.

Again lovely image. #8050065

Thanks you Jack! Feel free to contact me and I'll give you the link to the complimentary Skeletal Mess filters. The fellow has a somewhat wide assortment of them ~ so very nice of him to offer them without a charge. Thanks again :) #8054358
