I didn't expect this beautiful rendition.. The red contrasted against the black really makes it POP! The way the folds play in and out is a real attention grabber. Simple but elegant.

I'm thrilled that you like my photo so much!

I made stuffed bell peppers for dinner, and this one had so much mold that I couldn't use it.

And then I realized that it would make a great photo!

I've used my light box enough times to know that the black velvet works wonderfully.

Thank you again.

The scalloped edge leads your eye around in a circle. So eye catching against the black background.

Hope you and yours are tucked away someplace safe, CaliforniaPeggy!

That scalloped edge does do that, doesn't it? I hadn't realized it until I posted the photo.

And black backgrounds really rock!

Not to worry about us, but thank you for thinking of us. There's no flooding around here, and the earthquake was practically nothing for us.
