Wonderful toning Laine, and I learnt something today as well! Who'd have thought brickwork could be so interesting? :o)) To a non-brickie person, I thought there was only generic 'brickwork'...thanks for the commentary!

Nice processing. The texture and details are great. I thought there was a door for a mouse at the bottom. V

I had to look for a minute! I thought you had put in a fairy doorway.
sue anne11-Dec-2009 22:49
Interesting, I didn't know about these. At first I thought it was a little door before I opened up the big picture.

Coleen Perilloux Landry11-Dec-2009 21:22
You could use this in a child's story with that tiny little door.
Guest 11-Dec-2009 21:18
Oh I thought it was a door to a small world :) maybe a civilized little mouse lived there :) V
