I've had my Touch for a while now and finally decided what type skin I want to put on it.  I keep it in the Amazon Lighted Cover for the Touch, so the entire front shows, with no corner straps, which I like.  Here's my new skin:

Yes, I got the template from Decal Girl.  You know they don't put cut lines on their templates any more?  I just print mine "actual size" on paper, cut it out and then play around with it to make it fit.  I can email you the template if you like.  PM me if you want it.

Wow, Patricia, I didn't think you could possibly come up with anything nicer than your original skin for the K3, but it looks like you have created another masterpiece!  Gorgeous!

Thanks Linda, it's a little different but still along the same lines.  I always want my "A book is like a garden...." on my skins.  I used different flowers on this one on the front, and made my background black.  Main reason for the black background is I just think it looks better with the black, in the lighted cover I use on the Touch.  Plus I have found that I prefer reading with a skin with a darker background, seems to make the contrast better.  I'm very happy with this, when I pick up my Kindle to read now, I get a little jolt of pleasure just looking at it!  And I just had to put a quote from Stephen King on the back, even though I never see the back.  Doesn't matter....I know it's there.
