    Thank you for your comment on my contest.I got the background from a woman on this site but I can't remember her name.I feel so bad so I'm going to try to find her again.She was letting people use them.She also had so many to choose from and really great ones.As soon as I find her again I will let yiu know who she is.

    Danna Hobart I don't remember how i came across her but she has tons of backgrounds she has offered for other people to use.You should be able to go to the search for a poet put her name in she has lots of beautiful backgrounds to look at and use if you see 1 or 2 that u really like that should take u to her site(i think) if not i'll see what i can do to get you to her so u can see the amazing backgrounds.

    well good luck with your contest. Currently I have writer's block so I am just posting old stuff don't have anything that quite fit this category. I love the back ground. Hope you get some really good entries
