Another nice result Bees! I like the patchwork feel you've created and would love to see a desktop wallpaper that had that all the way across. Maybe in a wide stripe across the middle? The background is a perfect, subtle yet decorative, complement to the work.
Kim, the detail in your design is stunning and eye-catching! Thank your Mom for wanting this because we've all benefited. Even the background by itself is lovely but your creative design is TOP NOTCH! - Patty
Lovely work. Distinctively different. It looks like gilded patchwork but it is not quite gold, not quite silver. Actually, quilted patchwork to give that raised look. The background looks like gentle old-fashioned wallpaper.
