This is Gorgeous AunDot!!! I am going to have to figure out on PhotoShop how to do this!!!
Well Done!!!! Wow,......: ) syl
AuntDot replied
I’m so flattered by your nice comments! I don’t have PhotoShop, but in Picasa there is a “create collage” option, including adjustable border colors and widths. For the lighting, I took advantage of the afternoon sun pouring in through my dining room window and didn’t have to adjust it at all.

Thank you so much, Di. I enjoyed making this collage
- I tried to make it cheerful, and the sun coming through the window onto these flowers was very helpful. Nice to see your work, too -it is lovely.Dot
