I really like your redo!
This is my favorite! You should have us vote for our favorites from each decade when you finish.
Thanks! That sounds like a pretty fun idea to me…
Can’t say this one really works for me–the very first time I looked at it, I thought it was water! And even though the title is OUT of the dust, I don’t think this cover should have even a hint of water.
A fair assessment, Mr. Spicer – and I can see what you mean about the water.
Ooh. I like this one. I really, really like this one!
