"Cute kitty pictures" huh? Wanda, remind me to have you around if I need to hack into a website.
You got into the pages that aren't linked to any others on the site, that I use for publishing pics I want to link to from elsewhere on the web. I assume you tried typing in different id numbers? Or did you find the little "Easter egg" I have on the main "What's New" page so I can get to the others myself?
They are all in that same "New" subdirectory, because it publishes quickly when I want to add something.
I made a series of more traditional backgrounds...
I do tend to get carried away. When looking at some of the sites in freepims list, I found one called "wackybackgrounds" - something of a soulmate.
I think it's because I've never been able to "do" art. When I discovered tile-making, and other things I've done with Paint Shop, I was so excited about actually being able to make something
pretty!
Even my Photo Shopping is pretty limited: I hardly ever use layers (that image with the gloves is beyond me) and can't make anything "from scratch." But I enjoy playing around with it.
...with less pattern and monocromatic tones directly caused by brightness/contrast adjustments.
That's one thing I like about "gray" - it's very seldom
gray. Except for the one blue-green tile, I didn't alter Oscar's hair color at all - just enhanced the color that was already there.
Among Samantha's, I especially like the leather and the #10 contour. I've never gotten the leather effect to look so much like
leather - maybe I need to try using it on cat hair.

Off topic, but regarding turtle's remark about Oscar cooling off in the water dish -- Houdini has hardly used her water dish since she learned how to jump onto the vanity in the bathroom and catch the drips coming out of the faucet. I suppose it's more fun. Tonight she jumped up onto the kitchen counter and stood staring at the faucet, as if she was wondering where the drips were. I kind of hate to get the bathroom faucet fixed.
