What a beautiful combination of image, text, texture and depth you've created here. I immediately recognized the apple blossom--brings me a breath of spring. Very interesting to read the your process to get to the final result.

Love the colors and the tone. I struggle to get the text to stand out with a drop shadow like yours does. Any suggestions for a newbie?

Your quote fits my husband beautifully as he has had so many health problems....and it the journey of overcoming that tells of the real person.
The floral adds such softness to your texture...very much like the way you have used the texture to act as a frame. smiles: sharon

I like the quote- It gets me off the hook a bit. Great use of Bonnie's texture. It looks like a stiff canvas- which give it just the perfect weight.
