My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

is always just beyond your grasp,

 may alight upon you”
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Wow! These are gorgeous photos! I too love learning a new post processing technique. The rounded corners really give a nice softness to the beauty of the flowers. Great project today!

Oh, Faerwillow... Your post is beautiful. The yellow butterfly is stunning!
The rounded edges does look really good on the photos. I think I will have to learn this technique, as well!:)
Thank you for sharing your lovely butterfly words and many thanks for purchasing some of my fairy cards. I will wrap them up nicely for you and send them soon!:)
Sending you fairy blessings.

Superior Snaps, whether rounded at the corners or not. Congrats on acquiring a new techno-skill. I always feel so accomplished when I figure out something like this, don't you?

Heisann!
Like your blog --- stumbled into it!
Have a nice Eastertime!

Cameron Reutzel said...

Oh wow! The photos were beautiful to begin with, but the rounded corners do lend a little something special to them! I love that look also. I only have Photoshop Elements 3.1 at my disposal. What did you use to create this look, if I may be so bold to ask? :)

Keep spreading those wings to lands yet unventured....

Magaly Guerrero said...

I know this has been said a lot but "WOW!" Those are beautiful. The colors are so bright that it makes me feel like I can reach out and touch the butterfly and flowers through the screen.

Great job with the rounded corners!

Her Speak said...

Ah! These beautiful wings get me in the mood for spring! I saw snowdrops popping up near the sidewalk and I was just GiDdY!

Thank you for sharing!

Tammie Lee said...

your round corners are quite wonderful. I imagine it is a wonderful feeling to have learned how to do this! Your already beautiful blog has even more charm now!

chrissy said...

everyone is LOVING the butterfly.s including me! they never sit still long enough for me to grab the right lens and zoom in and focus and all, so i am especially impressed with your shots.
the rounded corners are nice too...it looks like you need to have a "tutorial" on your blog...???
happy day to you.
thank you for always leaving such darn sweet comments on my little old blog....it means a lot.

Rochelle said...

Fun isn't it? (Well, sometimes, as long as the pix come out how you see it in your head anyway!) :)

Diana said...

oooh! I love the quotes and the photos! what software did you use to do the rounding?

Annie Z said...

I use Windows Live Writer to write my posts. It has a lot of different options about how to have your photos - including rounded corners!
