I found this little clown in a second hand story. It needed plenty of cloning as it was full of moth holes. ~Pat #1031377

This has a magical quality to it, Pat! I don't find things like this in thrift stores very often. I do, however, buy Sampson stuffed animals for him t eviserate and leave stuffing all over my house and yard. Actually, when the stuffing gets bad, I secretly put his "baby" in the trash and start over with a new toy. It's time to go to the Goodwill again and pick up a new crop of "playmates".

Is Corel PSP what you usually use to get all your wonderful shots?

You would never know that all that effort was required for such a cute image! Excellent PP work, Pat!
Glad to see you posting as poorly as you've been feeling. What an inspiration to us all!

Hi there Debbie, I tried to respond to this earlier but BP is far too slow, it is 8pm where I live, maybe this is when you guys are asleep and are 't on line?

I use a lot of programs, Corel PSP8 I use for Picture Masks and tubes. Joan has got Ten I think.

I bought the dogs a teddy at the same time and they have ripped it's cruthc out. It only cost two dollars.

WOW Pat! You outdid yourself on this one! Just love it. Well done!

I have PSP 12 actually... and despite all the other editors I have it remains my favourite. #6743193

Graham Robards November 12, 2008

Thank you so much UV Dale and Sue, this would make a lovely post card hey.

I wish they did have a catagory instead of the digital darkroom.It takes hours to put this sort of thing together,not like a filter that can just be run over.

I had to hand paint the clown as he was moth eaten and old LOL.

Thank you for your kind words. Patx #6743480
