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.

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. #8923990

Hi Steve, Patricia, Karen and SSSKiki!!!

I had hoped this image would say different things to different people and I think it has. :)))) I'm so pleased you feel it's thought provoking, Steve.

Patricia, you mean you are not still a little girl? Keep looking. I bet she is in there somewhere! :) Wishing is a good start! :) All little girls love to wish.

Thank you Karen!!! :)))

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!

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. #9369281

Laura E. Swan level-classic 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!!!
