My entry to ThousandShadowsMP's challenge 'Monochromatic (with spots of color)'
It was pretty hard to think of something because there were so many entries already...xD But I hope you like this:3

Played around with more textures!:) I used 2 different ones this time, one for the entire image (though I erased it a little on the Beast to make him stand out more^^) and one for the border. I came up with the idea of the quote (credits below) after I'd finished the rest, and decided to match the word 'BEAUTY' with the rose^.^ Added some effects to the text as well, but I guess that's obvious:P What's different this time though, is that I actually changed some of the effects' valuesXD Before, I didn't realise that was possible too8P Silly meXD Well, now I know:P I keep learning^^

At first I wanted to add Belle to the picture as well, but I thought it would be 'stronger' if I didn't:3 And I put some more pinkish glowy-ness around the rose to make it stand out even more:)

Feedback is VERY much appreciated, as always!<3
