franjipanis and shells

no nicer flower than the franjipani for smell and colour and texture and just that feeling of SUMMER… untouched photo. The day I took these, there was a blanket of shells washed up on the sand…Palm Beach, Queensland:)
a glitch occured when I uploaded this file and it ended up too small, so I added it again and it worked! see the larger file here

    What happened sweetheart? Did you remove this lovely image from the group by accident? It just arrived in the moderation queue again. Congratulations on your second feature in Dimensions

  • ChristineBetts replied

    sorry about that!! I tried to upload a bigger image and thought I needed to remove it but it still won’t let me sell it as anything bigger than a matted print…technology is not my strong point! and thanks for the lovely support!!

  • Nanagahma

    You’re welcome!
    If you wish to exchange an image, you don’t need to remove it.
    Under my bubble simply open your art tab, select the image you wish to edit and then select browse, upload another image, choose the groups you wish to add it to and add the commentary, tags, etc., then hit save. This way you only change the image and retain all your messages.

  • ChristineBetts replied

    thanks Sharon :)
    I uploaded a larger file and it wouldn’t offer me the boxes to tick to offer for sale as anything other than card and matted print. most frustrating. oh well, not to worry:)
