Well if you still don't like it tomorrow, I'll send you my address so you can send it to me. It's GORGEOUS!! The color scheme, the image and how you colored it, the layers and the embossing. This is going straight into my faves folder.

Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Oh I wish I could do what you do. I'm not feeling sorry for myself, really. I just am so inspired by your work. I guess the word is overwhelmed--in a good way. LOVE this.
