      I am keeping the dark background as that is what I use in all other programs – what I am used to.  I bought the program because I work in all platforms and was quite anxious to be able to work on iPad.  Love it so far.  There is a very affordable companion resource for Kindle as well.

            F ~ (oops ~Forgot which letter I was on … LOL )  … Foreign travel is always good, too, for a honeymoon … although might be kind of tricky now with loads of borders closed due to the virus.

                      I don’t think you have to be too worried about people being scared off.  They would probably be here even snooping around because they already have an interest in the creative vibe.  Everyone starts at the beginning in this stuff … no need to fear it as it comes even faster when you have friends to share it with.  I will start off with a few suggestions as I know it will snowball with a whole bunch after a bit.  LOL  Just the way it goes here – loads of creative people.  How about “The Love Story Layout” … “The Calendar Collective” … “The Easy Magazine Make Up”.  Just a start.

                        The house is Christmas from front door to back.  Who says you can’t go home again?  Try telling that to your heart … I guarantee it won’t listen.  Even the sunroom is decorated. We might not get any snow, but we have FESTIVE!  Thank you for the frames, Carole.

                                                Annie T 🙂  My first thought, too, was this game won’t go far with only seven 🙂  … but then reread Cassel’s instructions which broadened it up to “words associated with continents, countries, and geography”  which I suspect could lead us going for quite a while!  LOL  We are rather spread out in here.  🙂

                                                    I am going to be honest here.  I wanted to like playing with these … but I didn’t.  I paint in real life and making the transition from brushes held in hand and mixing my own paints to poking keys on a computer just doesn’t fly much with me as yet.  Concepts visualized in the head don’t always play out on the monitor!  NOW, I have to admit, I am not home this weekend and I am working on a little tiny laptop with not much on it – and no WACOM.  I might have liked it better with that.  But still, I had fun playing and while it’s dumb, I guess I will share what I made.  Also, I have invested heavily in Painter 2021 and after playing with their brushes, textiles, patterns , overlays, etc … not to mention some of the convenient and awesome things that offers, this was pretty minimal and did not compare.  I am NOT making a criticism of Corel, because I don’t think this is what Paint Shop Pro’s goal is – better to leave that to Painter.  The two programs are vastly different and while both are fun … I think I will leave the actual transitioning to painting  to Painter 2021.  Paint Shop Pro is great to have included this, I think … and I guess I will give it another go when I have a graphics tablet onboard!  Mousing paint was tedious and rarely got the effect I was after.  It did while away the time while I had to watch :::listen really::: to a very boring HOA Zoom meeting.  LOL  I have not enough working experience with these tools … but it did seem to me they did NOT resize down well at all.  Am I imagining that?  Anyone have knowledge on that?  No matter what, they blurred.
