Oh and if someone works on this - can you get rid of the cigarette too?

Don't know if it is my eyes or if this is our of focus for starters    :)

- Hope this is something like you were hoping for.  I had to get rid of the esky and chair - didn't look right in the oval!  Also oval not quite complete - they would have been without feet to achieve that.

Bigger file saved  - if you wish for it then PM me with your email.

Sally and Irene,

Thanks!!!  I am going to keep both one softer and one sharper I like how the personal style shows in your finished work.

Sally - can you get rid of the cigarette in yours too?   If it isn't too big a deal.
