      @flowersgal Thanks for your kind words. For my photo, I actually used three of Lynn's transfers (her kits are referenced in the credits), merged them & then clipped my photo to it. Yes, the photo was adjusted in RadLab. I don't recall what I used, a bunch of filters on top of each other until I thought it looked okay. I do know that Rusty Cage was one of them, and I believe Troy, and a few others. I'm bad, I don't save the recipes, I just hack at it until something looks pleasing to me.

      The title "Yes to New Adventures" was word art in Sahin Design's Glitz kit. I didn't change the sizing of it at all. I tried to match up "new adventures" as best as I could in color as well as font & size. It isn't perfect (look at the "W"), but close enough. I used Helvetica at 7 pt, with a 365 spacing between letters.

      For my edges, I used a soft round brush with very low opacity - 17% and a relatively low fill. I used a black (picked a darkish color from my photo) and then went around the edge, and then went around it again. I then created another layer & picked the darker orange from one of the rooftops and again, with 17% opacity, went around the edges, but this time my brush was smaller. I then blended the orange at linear burn. I could have used other blending options (and I did try them), but my black was at normal, orange was at linear burn.

      The masking and the edge brush work compliment the photo well.
