    • Tam, thank you. I spent many many hours browsing stock images, & playing around with Photoshop Elements. I’m a complete novice to this designing thing (well other than logos on my website), and so decided to try my hand at it. Oh and re stock images, beware the copyright issue – each site is different in what purchasing entitles you to do. So fascinating learning curve. 🙂

  21. Breathtakingly different. Maybe next year we need the cover design BEFORE the story comp because THAT cover would have truly inspired me to write.

  22. Oh my gosh, it’s so beautiful. I love the way the colour fades to highlight the middle. Helen, you are so talented.

    • Dora I too loved that aspect of the photo & kept it. Lighting makes such a difference, doesn’t it. when I changed it in my mock ups, it didn’t have the same appeal.
