French Wheels And Onions!

Pamela Jayne Smith

French Wheels And Onions!

The same bike the same s/c but with the onions also – I couldn’t decide which one I prefered out of these and as Jason mentioned the onions on no.1 what else could I do!!

Thanks Jason without your tutorial I would still be struggling because then of course hubby Rob worked it out before me so he wrote it down – and now – it’s a breeze but hard and time consuming!

    Je crois que cette photo est la plus aimée par Red Bubble! En plus tu l’as transformée avec cet effet (que j’essaie encore de comprendre). Je vais profiter du tutorial que tu as indiqué dans la description. Félicitations pour toutes les primes que tu as très bien méritées. Je crois que lorsque tu l’as prise, tu n’aurais jamais pensé au succès qu’elle aurait eu sur le site! ;o) Bisous.

  • Pamela Jayne S... replied

    Merci bien Claudia :) votre commentaire c’est plus gentile!
