Fantastic, Mary! You didn't mention how you did this, so I have to ask - "How did you do this???!!!" I have a guess but I'm just not sure. Circular layers with angled gradients? IT'S SUPERB! Wow! (Yes, finalists were posted yesterday). #2804055Tammy Scott May 23, 2006

gorgeous colors and comp #2804412Mary N C. Taitt May 23, 2006
Thank you Nadya, Tammy, Carla, Laura and William for your very kind comments! Mary :-)This is how I did this: I was playing with gradients and chose red and rainbows. I tried different setting and used difference and exclusion and layered the gradients at some opacity other than 100 (68%?). Those layers created a sort of irridescnet effect. Then I made circles (ellipses, really) using the eliptical marquee tool and changed the gradient to a point rainbow and filled the circles with point rainbow gradients. I used the hard light setting. It was entirely done on photoshop, there was no actual photo to begin with. I was working on making banners for some of my blogs. #2804488
