Even though they are all fabulous, Laura Swanee,I would have chosen this one to enter also! Superb tones, clarity, & creativie fx indeed! Beautiful! #8764058

The one that is named: "Selective Fractalius" would have been my second choice Paddy, after cleaning up the bleed over from the pink into the white. The Smudge tool would do it.

Thanks for all you said Paddy! I always enjoy seeing you dropping in! :D
