Rough Pastels

You see before you my first attempt at designing my own blog background. I followed directions that I found online and it worked well except that I found out (after the fact) that there's no way to get around the problem of different sized monitors. Hmph. After some reworking and resizing this is what I came up with. It's not quite right on my monitor and probably has huge problems on a large monitor, but it was a learning experience. It had been a long time since I used Photoshop for anything other than resizing pictures, so it was fun to play around with all of the filters. I have ideas for better ones, so I'll probably change it when I have the time. Yeah, it might be a while.
