Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really can come true

Everyone, thank you so much for your kind comments. I worked hard on this image. FIRST I HAD TO FIND ME THE BACK OF A CUTE LITTLE GIRL! That in itself took me ALL DAY! HA! Layering her wasn't easy either as she was climbing stairs and I had problems with her hands as well. I had to draw in what you see there for fingers and then used the fractalius just a tad to make it work. Tried several filters.What I like best about this one is that I looked exactly like this as a kid. Maybe a lot of we girls did? but I can relate to her. Looking up into the rainbow with wonderment. :)
We are meeting Kiki and Leif in the Rockies again tomorrow. Can't wait. Today they will drive to TWO MAJOR ATTRACTIONS. Lake Louise being one of them.
The water changes colors depending on the weather. OFTEN TIMES it is a light turquoise! So beautiful.

Thought provoking image #8893291Patricia White September 22, 2010
This is a well thought out design. I always wanted to see what is on the other side of the rainbow. I wish I could remember when I was a little girl. O how time flies and gets away from us. #8923990Karen Engelbreth April 21, 2011
Wonderful work - love it Laura... #9362661Kirsten Kiki Kjaer April 22, 2011

SSister Kiki, I really must re-enter this. Thanks for reminding me. :) I love knowing that you and I were standing there togeher when I took the photo of the back of this little one. It's even more funny to remember that she was stepping up to look at the FARM ANIMALS and not really a rainbow! Lol...The magic of DDR!!!
Thanks all!

Your hard work really paid off on this awesome digital darkroom art creation Laura #9366942Heather Loewenhardt April 25, 2011
This is so creative Laura. It makes me look closer to see how you did it. I think we might be next door neighbours. I live in SK. #9369281Laura E. Swan April 25, 2011
Hi Emile! It was hard work but fun, too. Her hands were the worst of it. I kept losing her fingers as I lowered the opacity. hope I pulled it off! Thanks for the encouragement!!!*
HEY NEIGHBOUR! YES! WE ARE! How fun! I hope those floods aren't happening near you??? Manitoba is getting them something fierce!
Thanks for your wonderful comments!
