I'm so sorry Carolyn,I didn't mean to bother you with a query or anything of that sort,it's just things weren't working at that particular moment in time & I was just fretting since I really wanted that design to work out. Thankfully it does & I've made the changes as you suggested. Thanks for your sweet words on my Tropical design & sorry once again :)

Nazia Hyder on Nov 18 2014

Minted May 8, 2012

Thankyou Carolyn for your prompt feedback,I'm obsessing over this design,trying all these lay outs.I've been trying these options in AI & it's not letting me. For some reason AI thinks that the floral pattern is too heavy for a clipping mask & might & that the document might fail...
