In our Photoshop class today, one of my classmates demonstrated the technique of making a crystal frame. She did a very nice job. Our teacher told us make a Mothers' Day card, I used this crystal frame technique I just learned.

Betty sent me two photos of her orchids. They are blooming right now, the flowers are very beautiful. I've not done any drawings of orchids in the past so I decided to try it. If I may say so, it's a very good drawing. Anyway, I like it.
