You never know with those judges..Just throw it all against the wall and see what sticks. LOL #593701Janet Detota June 14, 2004
Well, it's good to balance the positive with the negative otherwise you won't appreciate either! :-) I like the colors of this one. Are you campaigning for the 'Special Effects King' title? ;-) #593731Shirley L. Carpenter June 14, 2004

Sorry about the late response folks, but I had to take my wife to the emergency room - she slipped and fell and we thought she broke her wrist. It turned out to be a nasty sprain but it's still very painful.Colette M. Metcalf June 14, 2004
