This was a fun project.  I’m not sure if I ended up with the desired effect, but it was cool seeing the difference in doing the same design in light and dark colors.  I definitely like the lighter one better.  The paints flowed easier for me than in the dark one.  I’m finding it a bit easier to control the acrylics now, and don’t hate them as much as I used to!  I’m still having big problems with Photoshop.  It won’t let me on today and seems like it is trying to get me to rebuy the program!  I will try again later.
