Description All vector, all Illustrator CS3. I was working more on composition here, but liked the colors of the butterfly and tulips, as well. Hope the colors and details don't drown out the compositional elements.

Thank you! I'm happy you like it. Doing vector work is kind of tough for me....it's lots of work, but sometimes the results are worth it.

Thank you, that's the look I was going for (also trying to do better composition than I usually do).

Thank you, Barbara. I really did try to get a handle on composition, tried to avoid clutter! I'm glad you like it.

Thank you, Lori. Maybe I'll turn it into a Mothers Day card and send it to my elderly aunt (the last close member of my family). She is a sweetie and is suffering with cancer; so I reckon she won't be with us much longer.

Thank you, Lori. I feel so bad for her, but she is very brave about it. She's going ahead and living her life the best she can, not letting the thing get her down too much. Her philosophy is that she's 85, has lived a good life, and no matter what happens, she's OK with it. She doesn't want to fight it too aggressively, just wants to be comfortable and go on doing what she's doing.

Well keeping a positive attitude is everything! I would succumb probably faster than most because I'm such a negative person for myself

I'm like that too, and it's a problem for sure. But what can we do? I'd trade my somber personality for a cheerful one any day. But we don't have that choice, eh?

OK, it will probably be colorful! I can't get away from color, no matter how hard I try. Some people get great results from a subtle palette and subdued shades, but I'm not one of them.

yes, i understand what you mean But you have very good taste of the colors, so no worries, that it is too a lot!

Thank you very much, Caddman. I realy concentrated HARD on composition elements, and got lucky with the colors. I would not have guessed that the green-blue background would look as good as it seems to with the other colors.
