This is what my final product is going to look like. It will vary depending on what colors and pictures you choose to use, but ultimately the style should come out similarily.

Horse Photoshop Brushes

 Brushes are a huge part of using photoshop.

Favorite Kuler Schemes

Color Schemes

Kuler is an excellent resource for color schemes, especially for web design because they don't give you an overwhelming amount of colors (some sites will have color schemes that consist of more like 20 colors)

These are a few of my favorite themes that I just keep coming back to over and over again!
