Do you use Paint Shop Pro?

If you put this background on its own layer, there's a slider that you can slide to the left or right on the layers pallette and that makes it lighter (muted) or as bright as it is (100%).

That's how I'd do it.

In your signature, I see a Red X.  When I put the URL into my browser, it says "Page cannot be found".

Do you see it?  Just above "Hugs and kisses"

This is the URL...  http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/preacher1974/000BarbaraBlink.gif

<I can see your sig picture>

I would think it would be the same in both of them, so I guess use whichever you are more comfortable with.

No a friend of mine made it, I do not do well with the sparkles, lol the whole thing would be jumping if I did it. Yes I have so many graphics that I have 5 different photobuckets to keep them all.

2 Chronicles 7:14--my favourite verse!  Wow.  My youngest son's mother-in-law painted that verse for us and we have it framed over the stairs.  It's the first thing you see when you come into the house.


I just wrote you and asked you if you had the background without the writing and I'd mute it for you but you've done just fine.
