Nora, I just love your Kara!!! She's so like me!

Thanks Duxy! I always make a fuss over the starting point... Glad you like her!

My family has yet another arrival in their family! And yet again, another boy... Oh well... usually I have girls, the tables must have turned somehow.. Here is the picture of him:

Well, I was going to do a family portrait featuring all of the generations in my Morris and Rainbow family that have passed on as a tribute.. but Photoshop closed and I lost the file so I only have my first generation done I'll probably redo it even better another time !

Wow Lyss, that's really cool. I love how the kids are sitting on their parents' laps.

That's a really nice family portrait, Lyss. I wish I had your talent in image manipulation. I tried using Gimp but I couldn't even change colors.

Hang in there serendipity8777. I tried using Gimp as well and was having a hard time even creating a new layer! I did find some tutorials online that I just need to sit down and do to learn how to use the program. I wish a class was offered online (college or other)... that's how I learned Photoshop.

Mostly it's trial and error with Gimp. I'll tell you the secret to changing colors (in my experience): Play around with the settings on the brush. There's a drop-down box above the opacity and scale options once you select the brush.

Alright, I have a new set of twins that were born with the same name! I think they may actually be clones! The first thing I did was rename them "Tony and Tommy".
