Dave...I took it out already. Go to the first image. They are hard edged rectangles that come sometimes when I touch the drawing. You can still barely see one just above my signature....that one was not obtrusive to the draw so I left it. I have to touch the screen ever so lightly or it happens....but only sometimes. Then it wont quit once it starts and if I delete, sometimes it takes the shadow out but sometimes it takes the draw stroke away but leaves the shadows there.

"the only time I see that happen is when I've laid down a backgound with the gradient tool...I dont know why it happens but it does.. then I usually will just put everything else on a new layer

Looks very nice QT. I have noticed that if you use the gradient at the beginning of your picture, it messes later on. Use the gradient at the end of your picture and see if this works for you. Dave's comments are the same as what I have experienced as well.

Oh this is pretty, I love it. Very cool
