The present invention relates to a composition comprising rubber modified thermoplastic resins which show special visual effects such as a metallic sparkle effect and/or other special visual effect from the surface of thermoplastic articles comprising the composition. In a particular embodiment the present invention relates to a composition comprising: (i) a rubber modified thermoplastic resin comprising a discontinuous elastomeric phase dispersed in a rigid thermoplastic phase, wherein at least a portion of the rigid thermoplastic phase is grafted to the elastomeric phase, and (ii) a plurality of microsphere beads having a diameter in a range of about 1 to about 1300 microns and having an index of refraction ranging from about 1.4 to about 2.5, wherein the microsphere beads are present in the composition in an amount in a range of between about 1 phr and about 14 phr, and wherein the microsphere beads provide a special visual effect on the surface of an article made from the composition. In other embodiments the present invention relates to articles made from the composition and to methods for providing a special visual effect and also for enhancing the image texture value of the surface of the article.
