Was reminded of this over the holidays, teaching the smallest grandchildren.........
Very nice drawing Penny. The marbles are great and the texture of the background is intriging. May I ask how you made the marbles and the background?
What a fun drawing, Penny. I especially like the translucency of the larger marbles.
I would play, but everyone has said I have lost all my marbles.
Looks very nice, though.

Very nice drawing. I thought Solitaire was a card game ? But this game looks familiar to me...
Nice drawing Penny. It reminds of my childhood visits to my grandparents house.
It is what we called solitaire. This is what I'd call chinese checkers. I can remember playing solitaire at my grandparents house as a small boy. The marbles were lead balls though! Thanks for the memory Penny and an excellent rendition.
Lonnie it is Marble Solitaire. A strategy game where you try to remove the marbles by jumping them. Similar to Peg Solitaire that Cracker Barrel restaurants had on all their tables in years past. Triangle shaped board with holes and golf tees as pegs.
Very nice!
I thank you for the trip down memory lane as well. I used to play with my Grand Dad "Poppy". ;)
Thanks everyone......... Bill, I'll post how I made the marbles soon. The background texture is a fill I've had for ages and can't remember where it came from - I use it a lot. There's an ouside contour on the rectangle.
Steve, you're quite right about the indents.........can't think why I didn't notice.

Thanks Penny, I look forward to seeing how you make the marbles.
Very nice Penny, I like the marbles effect.
Lovely Penny. You have some very lucky grandchildren. :)
Love the colors.
My favorite color combination.

Nice work Penny. well it does kind of look like Chinese Checkers. Maybe that is the other game I was thinking of. Thanks for that Lon.
