2012.04.27 For my daughter...

my Compass Rose . . .
[ using Pixel Dust Photo Art's Sweet Secret and Paris textures ]

it's kinda humorous that these are mums, not roses
even though a compass rose has nothing to do with roses :)

A post with one of Bonnie's newest textures, Painterly, is here:  Honey Locust in Bloom

I haven't been participating in cyber-life lately,
