"I wrote your name on a piece of paper but by accident I threw it away...
I wrote your name on my hand but it washed away...
I wrote your name in the
sand but the waves whisked it away....
I wrote your name in my heart and forever it will stay........."
Ah, perfect composition for a desktop wallpaper. Roses are especially hard to work with, and I think you pulled it off. I would liked to have seen some little spark or lensflare subtley, but It looks just fine without it also. The colors are also very professional looking. Well done.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
