OK.. here is what I've done, I made it a little smaller and took off one set of arrows. I decreased the opacity and added a slightly hazy pink bottom curtain to my theme (rather than clear). I kept the sketchy setup (which somehow removes the selected icon from the slider) but cleared all the tray icons so only the preview/hero icons show. I am familiar with my set up so I don't need the icons on the bottom to show..it's kinda neat. I'm thinking though, that maybe the slider woudl be better served as two-tone so the flower shows through... What I'm thinking..... transparent/grayish gloss and arrows, with the daisy showing through as pink. canya??? I can resize and such to my liking as I've done here. I think this would be the most awesome choice.
Here is what I've done so far.
