Subject: Catspaw with Cat
Posted by: Ellen Shipley

Time to print the kitty on the background. Magenta seems to be a mix of red and blue, closer to blue.  I'll see how that looks.  I'll see if I want it ghostly (watered down) or more substantial (w/ white). Nah, went with more of a burgandy kitty. Striking, I think.  8-]  I think I'll call it Catspaw. And here's the finished product: [Long item has been trimmed at this point.
