Thank you so much! Hearing such wonderful words coming from one of my favorite artists (I seriously love it when I see a new post of you - to see how you "transform" paper in such stunning works is leaving me speechless on a regular basis) makes me blush a bit *hides* Anyway, that fading of the background has by now become kind of my trademark - I did it for almost all my artposts so far, be it in the cover and/or end pic, dividers, or chapter headers. *rubs hands in glee* So happy that you like it!!
