Welcome to the forum and I am sure you will enjoy it heaps.

Isn't the elegance series wonderful. I did have great ideas about doing them once but then gave it up as I have so many other things I want to do.

Good work! (Don't forget to start your gallery once you have enough postings -- 10, I think).

Choosing the next one is always fraught with possibilities, isn't it? :)

You like Maxine Gadd then... :-)? Some lovely designs there, I do like the black and white one (well, greys really :-)), so understated and effective!
