@Stygg—

You're having fun and you're experimenting, both worthwhile passtimes.

I just want our membership to get thinking about the uses of blends; tutorial to follow.

@Dave—

Nice use of your new techniques to make an avatar. Suggestion? It might be less "busy" without the state flag superimposed on top of the D and C. There's only so much room in an avatar, which means you need to be a good judge about every pixel that appears in the final piece.
