Shelly's Images Challenge

Another week has rolled around and that means 
it's time for another fun challenge at Shelly's Images!  

With the 4th of July approaching, today we are focused on:

STARS & STRIPS ... AND ... SPARKLE

and our FEATURED image today is

PICNIC
As you can see by the watermarked image above, this image comes in TWO versions ... one with a plain napkin and one with a stars/stripes napkin hanging out of the basket.  GREAT for those holiday OR picnic cards, invitations or announcements!


I had so much fun coloring this image and of course I just had to use SU crystal effects on the 'drinks' to give them a more REAL effect.  You'll notice a bit of shine on the grapes and watermelon too!
