Wow! I'm delighted that so many of you enjoyed "Flowers"! Thanks you for your votes!!  There were many fine pieces in this challenge, and I'm proud to have done well among so many other artists.  ;-)
   While I spend the morning basking in what I consider my "moment of glory," I'll be pondering a challenge for us to tackle this month....  I'll be baaack. (this afternoon, I promise!).
  Again,  I thank you.  mcw1917
