Too much? Word art by Paula

 If you see 2x WA of the same colour,
one of them has a white gradient glow on/around it.

WA is larger than shown.

To save WA at full size, click to open then save as usual.

 

Word art by Paula "No one"

Just right click & save, the word art is in PNG format.
The last one is extra if you like to use it.
Forgot to save its original without gradient glow and shadow....

Easter Snag by Kathyfrances

Recently the members of Escape From Reality had the privilege of working with the scrapkit 'Fairy Party' by Bella Carabena www.dreamingwithbella.com. I used it to make the background cluster and combined it with the work of ©Sherri Baldy. I used a stamp I purchased and colored from Sherri Baldy's store www.mybestiesshop.com.

Feel free to snag it and add your name. I only ask that you do not change the copyright or offer it as a WWO. See my TOU for more info. Need help adding your name? Stop by the forum and we will be glad to assist! http://escapefromreality.forumotion.co.uk

Here is the snag tag:

just in case you have a use for it. Enjoy!
