Thank you Larry. I was really happy with the way it turned out. When I first started this thread I thought it might be difficult to achieve an organic look with Xara,
but I proved myself wrong and I'm glad I did
because I really like the feeling of control I have with this program. My other graphics programs may end up orphans. LOL

I've been over at Xara resources downloading some of those sweet brushes. There are some really nice ones!
