I gotta laugh!!!!

When I saw the first pic I thought it looked like a giant birthday cake , then I read Mikes post!!

That made me think "I'll have to have a play with that one in PaintShop . . . and then I read hOughy's post! LOL!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhh, you guys crack me up. Am I that predictable? John is right, I don't need any more ideas!
