HYCCT1522 = wrinkle free distress. I tried to relate this to the book theme and the grand old libraries of major cities(NYC, St Louis, Cleveland) that I have known. The de rigueur interiors of these old buildings are warm, beautiful marble. I tried to make the wrinkle free distress panel of my outer frame look like these interior marbles.

You certainly created a beautiful background, Sallie - aside from the marble you mention, you've picked up on the warm rich colours of all those old leather bindings, too. And the framing is simply gorgeous.
