"Granny Smith" apple green is one of my favorite colors. So these green roses with a white rose look simply divine to me.

I used my own texture "Emerald Isle" available for free download by clicking here I set it at 35% Soft Light and it didn't affect the original color of the roses at all, but gave it the great canvas texture.

New and Old

New and old

If you look carefully, you'll see the tiny green sprout next to the fallen leaf. This always happened here in autumn when the rains come. After months of no precipitation, new life pops up amidst the fallen leaves of autumn.
