Thank you Christina. I actually was playing as you do and what I did was to select a circle, paste into selection. Then when I decided to do something with them as they looked pretty bare. I selected one, contracted by a fair amount and then feathered it before going effects, brightness contrast and lightening the edge slightly to give that beveled look. I suppose I could have got the same effect if I had just used the bevel tool but I was so pleased with my experiment I did it to them all. Sometimes my papers needs to be 'roughened up' a bit and I love to use texture to make it look grungy and a bit more plausible to my eye.

Sheila, I think the way you made it's perfect, and probably you would not have the same effect just with bevel tool. Really great page!
