Here I have learned to make a textured background and a feathered edged image that blends with the back ground - the left hand border I created using another tutorial and combined the tutorials to get this page *Smiles* I am pretty satisfied with the way it has turned out
Here I attempted to make my own tubes of Proteas and a Blue Crane and placed them in a ready made Globe and Base I did not like the colour of the flowers on the base so I manually adjusted the colour in effects .- The Blue Crane is the South African National Bird and is an endangered species the Proteas are also typically South African and grow mainly in the Cape
