Your posts are always so beautiful, I love visiting your blog!

I do love the way you used that texture - picmonkey has one too but I never seem to have the right pic, maybe I will work on that today.

Hugs.

Both of the photos are wonderful... that rose is just gorgeous. So wish we were at that point here. It won't be long now!

Thanks for visiting my blog. I love this photo of such a beautiful rose. Love the color! And the scripted texture is a very good choice.

What pretty graphics you've created. I'm waiting for the day when the roses will bloom again. Until then, I'm enjoying the little red leaves. ☺

Wonderful! Love the lighting in the first shot and such a pretty color of rose. You have a great blog, love your furry friends. We have several of our own.
