Moyra's Pearls set

While on vacation on a certain tropical isle on Antares, Moyra woke up one morning to find that several Pearl Starfish had crawled up on the beach and woven themselves into a beautiful necklace for her. (Such was their love of our wonderful web jeweler.) I wasn't sure if she'd remember all this when she woke up from the vacation dream I sent her, so I've made this set for her to remember it by.

About this set:
This set was inspired by Moyra's set, "SeeStars", and made in honor of her. It was created with a dingbat from Ann Stretton's Spirals family of dingbat fonts, which can be found at The Dingbatcave. This is the first set I made for this collection, after having thrown out numerous older and clumsier sets in favor of starting fresh. And here's a little page for Moyra.

This set is dedicated to Moyra, web jeweler extrordinaire.

The jeweler of dreams
carves rose quartz starfish
and sets them with pearls.

She weaves intricate necklaces
from our dreams and hers
inspiring us to dream even more.

She makes for us
golden lions playing with diamonds
by emerald ponds full of glittering fluorite koi.

I met her once long ago
when she was spinning her first web illusions
and she gave me a mosaic butterfly of digital emerald and sapphire.

Since then she's given me friendship and advice
she's inspired me with her glittering creations
and she's never stopped making new dream-jewelry for all of us to wear.

For years she's inspired me, and this set is inspired by her "SeeStars" set, which I've tried to emulate, but with my own twist. (Now, if only I could write decent poetry. But it's the thought which counts, yes?)

Terms of Use:
This set is linkware. It may be used by personal, non-commercial sites, provided a link credit is given on the same page on which these graphics are used. Please link them to http://www.jade-leaves.com/, using this logo graphic. If you've been good enough to read this far, I have some goodies for you.

Technical Notes:
To properly align the text on a page with a border background, one can set the page into a table with two columns, the first containing a 1x1 pixel clear gif set to the width of the border. If you don't know how to do this, please save the clear gif at the right and view the source of this page to see how I've done it. The font used on the buttons is FlemishScript BT, 25 pixels tall, with a drop shadow with the following settings: X offset=1, Y offset=1, Blur=1, Opacity=64%, shadow color used is the same color used for the text (R96,G82,B82). You may make your own buttons by laying text over the blank button I've provided.
