I have used all the prompts on the wheel.

Moonlight

I still have a few completed projects to upload.  I'm hoping to do at least two today and some more tomorrow.  It is a nice sunny day today but the air temperature is still cool.  I think the forecast is for rain for much of the coming week so I need to make the most of the sunshine while I can.

There is a new challenge at Gecko Galz this month and I absolutely adore the image.  I had a lot of fun with this one:
