I am - very slowly - going up from PS 6 to PS CS5. Mostly had fun with the gradients and other filters. And (as if it isn't obvious) the Violet/Shadow caught my attention. The ones kept black & white were done so for a reason. Special fonts used: Freebooter Script (#7); Jellyka Bees Antique Handwriting (#8), Jellyka Western Princess (#10, #11, partial-#13); and Renaissance (#14).
I have the PSDs if anyone wants one/some textless. All may be used with credit.
Thank you; I hope someone enjoys them as much as I did making them!
