PROGRESS ON 2012 BANNER

The background is finished and I've decided to take off with a really transparent image inspired from some of the vintage photos I've collected over the years.  I was totally focused on building a western themed piece this year but I just couldn't locate a resource image that struck my fancy.  I think the ornate background will look better with a soft, female portrait.  I hope to let the background show through and use minimal colors.

The banner is supposed to be finished by this weekend so I best get busy!
