You are so right Jeff. Sometimes we have things around us and just don't see them. We have to train our eyes to see them. I have done some work with the shades by my pc and love the look that you got out of them here with the gorgeous lines and esp;ecially the different color as the sun rises. Creative and beautiful work my friend. #9130822
