This was a really fun class!  I really enjoyed learning how to make the 3 different backgrounds.   Everything was so well explained, it seemed easy!  Yet, I never would have thought of these or figured them out on my own. 

I love this hombre dot background!  I also found the instructions about using the gradient tool very helpful.

The glowing effect - more great info. about using the gradient tool. 

The sunburst effect with noise.  The noise filter is so cool! 

Another really worthwhile class!
