Have just come from watching 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. I've always been bored to death by it, so you might say the booby traps were overkill. The difference between that and this, is that hopefully you would be able to pick these lilies without being trundled over by a large stone ball.

The background is a mix of gradients and merged Apophysis fractals. I created the flowers in Paintshop Pro 7... the petals are partly layer style (Photoshop Elements 2) and partly gradient. The gold layer style was by Shelby Kate Schmitz (number 41 from 101 Assorted Layer Style Effects). There are some beautiful layer styles out there, but it frustrates me that I can't make my own as I only have Photoshop Elements. Perhaps one day...
