    Very nice, Steve. The bright colors give it a very fun, whimsical feel, and I like the texture that the Craquelure filter gave to the BG. Well done.

    Steve, this is just great! I love everything, including the trimmed film slide vignette. Super work with the texture. A lot of fun in this one!
