Brother and Sister

Here is a little composite I put together from 3 images.

I started with a photo of my basement door:

Then added the vintage photo of a brother and sister:

And finally added some texture with a pattern

I made in the 21 Secrets workshop,

"Playing with Patterns":

I hope you like the ghostly little brother and sister.

I may be rather leery of walking past my cellar door now, teehee...

Winter Woodland

After a long break during the holidays, I'm back!

Here is a little woodland scene filled with frostiness.

It looks as if a fairy might appear at any moment,

although there are none here now.

But wait, do I see something in the ghostly

dandelion seed head??

No, false alarm...maybe they are all fast asleep

tucked under a warm tree root until springtime...

Easy to use digitally without having to

remove the white background!
