Thanks for all the nice comments....EricofSD I would very much like the url.....Sharen I really appreciate your comment! You are great! Willowjune, as far as the clouds...I just made a bunch of stones and applied "fuzzy cloud" in the volume material area and played with the material editor just a bit. I then highlighted all of the stones and used the 3d disperse size and rotate tool. I like the clouds but I can see where they just don't look right. What kind of things do you see in the clouds??? I can see 3 dogs and a human ear....Well that's what I see. Again, thanks to all for your wonderful comments!! It's because of you all that I keep trying......:-) Joey
