nicely done... my fav is the top row

That top row just appeals to me

I like the floating look of the first one, but there are places for all these effects.

I like the one on top. It seems they look a little higher.

In the top picture the blocks float like pieces of paper above the shadow and the other samples feel or look more solid. They all look like shadows so they are all successful in their own way. I like them all for each reason.

Both look great, but I also prefer the top one.

Interesting concept on trying to have different shadows.

Thanks! I love trying different patterns with different fabrics/colors/effects.
The top row is my favorite too. I'm really glad because it's easier to make. lol
I think, hung in an office especially, these would add a sense of calm.
