Nice job Walt:icon_thum I am no expert but I think that the purple heart will continue to darken - hope someone with more expertise will chime in on this
I think it turned out great Walt. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap Not sure how to answer your finishing question but I'm sure someone will chime in. :icon_thum
