Re: Sharon Scott’s Sea Diamonds- I know that technically, Sharon, you did an incredible job of creating and blending the beach meets the sea scene, but did you know you also made a ‘secret’ scene as well? I instantly saw an under water mermaid swimming. She is there, trust me! Fantastic!
Congrats to Nikki!
