Re: BreastCare Magazine (please critique)

Hi again...

I just wanted to thank everyone for their time and opinions, VERY 
helpful!  My clients are convinced that I must use the different colored 
backgrounds to represent the magazine properly... oh well! Thanks for 
pointing out my mistake in the background width...

Sincerely,
Denise
