love the effect and colors. I just got Corel program but haven’t figured it out yet. I’ll have to give it a try.

  There are so many possibilities in Corel that I am still a novice user. But, it gives you an opportunity to experiment with different textures and effects. I’m sure you will like it, Maralee. Thanks!

Wonderful! I used to have Corel, and loved it. Sad that they don’t make it for Macs anymore.
