    Lovely work Gilberte . x

  • Gilberte replied

    Thanks Irene I wanted to use a textured background instead of my usual black but don’t know how to insert it.If I layer the background over the picture I have to erase to make the picture visible.too much work with this subject.If I start with the background, I have to highlight the subjects to be able to move themt.That should be difficult with the fringes.I gave up and did as usual!
