I am so frustrated with this picture ~~ the ribbon is NOT that dark. It's burgundy, but in the picture it looks almost black. It actually matches the burgundy in the paper. I tried ~~ for a very long time, lol ~~ to edit it & I know there's a way to lighten *just* the ribbon in PSP but I can't figure it out. Grrrrr.....need more coffee.....

Great card. I can see the actual color of the ribbon on close inspection. I know flashes on a camera can darken some colors. One thing I found to get a good true-to-life picture, take your photo in the daytime in difussed light (not direct sunlight) without the flash.
Love the brown overalls! I haven't done him in brown farmer overalls yet, and now I think I will! TFS
