ReplyDeleteYou did the editing and framing on these and without your input I'd have never seen them. IF you don't so anything else with them I'd still be grateful to you. That first one with the red and yellow is particularly appealing to me.
Thanks. I guess some things just seem like gifts from the world, and it's enough to simply put a little frame round them and share.
