Jewelry by Shannon says:This is pretty … are you able to turn the picture so it faces like a necklace instead of sideways so we can view it better? SLS

Jewelry by Shannon says:NP, you are doing great. I rotate my pics on my computer before I post them on LB. Try going to the folder you save your pics in or where you upload them from your memory stick … You may see that option there. Then save on your computer and upload to LB. Hope that helps? SLS
