Hello to all my friends and followers
This month for my Freeby Friday giveaway I wanted to share some stunning images of beautiful ladies by moon light. This time of year the moon is beautiful here in Texas it truly has a magical look about it and these images reminded me of that.
Hope you have fun creating with them and remember if you do create something share it here so we can all see it.
