I loved the results but only followed the tut half way (using Psp 8)....I ended up adding the rabbit & then duplicating the image, rather than the layers....(guess I've done more tuts using that method), flood filled & then moved the images to A/S..... Great find Sue!! FlutteringBy

Livnlife I admire you for tackling such a small ball and I love it with the iridescent glass background. Eklypz, I can't believe this is your first Van Gogh glass!!! Diamondjennie, your ball looks so dainty and elegant. Flagtruck, using cup handles to make a built in stand for that gorgeous ball, was absolutely brilliant!!! Ahem...I can't believe that the person who ran this exchange and told everyone to make sure they took a picture of their ball before they sent it, failed to do that with their own ball and is going to make us all wait anxiuosly for Momof3 to find her camera! LOL Hey momof3...did you find that camera yet? Barb

Well, a photo will follow later. I am having trouble uploading so here is the rundown on this super duper butterfly prize. First a Little Butterflies stained glass coloring book. When you color these transparent pages with whatever medium you choose they appear like stained glass when hung where sunlight reaches them. So pretty! Glitter Butterflies stickers, really special ones. Two very sophisticated coloring books: Butterfly Alphabet and Exotic Butterflies and Moths. These are wonderful. A few years ago I bought the first one for my mother and she loved it. There are so many things you could do with these. One of them I will share with Allie and Sophie. We will work on it together when they come for a visit. Thanks Shirley. It was a fantastic prize. I don't often win "stuff" but in March I won a FBS gift certificate and then this cool prize. If I had known it was my month I would have bought a lottery ticket. ;>)

Well, ha! I did nothing! I did end up finding my dad’s original wedding ring, so I had two. And I have two sons. One son got married two years after this post, and I offered him his choice between the two rings — if he wanted one. He did, and he has now been wearing my dad’s ring for 3 years. My other son was not engaged, but I gave him my dad’s other ring and hopefully he hasn’t lost it, because he got engaged just before Easter. I still have my mother’s band, and I’d offer it to DD but she never knew my mom and I know she wants something different so I guess it will sit in my jewelry box unless I think of something to do with it. My dad’s ring on DS.
