My first Gradients share!

I enjoy making gradients and have made several but never thought they were good enough to share but I am really proud of these :-) They were inspired by what my daughter calls "banners" that she made in Minecraft. ***Original gradient designs by DragonGirl***  Feel free to use them for you PERSONAL USE ONLY.  

You may use them in tutorials, but please send to my blog to download.  I would love to see how you've used them and I would love to know what you think of them!  These were made in PSP 2018 in .grd format, and are also compatible with Photoshop Elements 2020 and I tested them in Photoshop CS 6. 


Please leave me some love if you download!  Thank you!  ♥
