HiReZ and welshblue
Thank you both!!! As I'm sure you can tell, I'm rather new to Paint.net I'm learning!! And overall my design is looking great, except for her "floating feet" lol.
I'll grab that plugin, HiReZ... thanks so much!!! And try your suggestion too, welshblue, I think both the shadow effect is needed and the sand needs to look like someone is standing on it
I appreciate your quick answers!
