Thing A Day ~ Day 2

I've been wanting to create a new shop banner for ages. The "Thing A Day" challenge inspired me to start working on it today. I can't seem to download a workable version of the Gimp software (recommended by etsy) so I've been learning, frustrated by and finally screaming at Adobe Photoshop Elements. This banner will have to suffice for now....still have to work on image and font choice etc. This may end up being my Thing A Day for the rest of the month!
