Laura E. Swan level-classic November 08, 2011

Hi, Miss Patti. I was just admiring the focal point. Where the petals meet the heart. Very well done. I really love that soft glowing background, too.

I am glad you were into photography while your Mom was still here. She knew you were very talented, no doubt. Isn't that wonderful to know? My Mom didn't live long enough to see me take ART/PHOTO on as a true passion. She passed away back when you could still buy flash cubes.

Maybe our Moms can see us now? Such a nice thought.

-Laura :)
