Chaos in Colour (the child in me!)

Uploaded: October 02, 2005

Description

This child's piece was taken yesterday when we sat next to the children's area in a cafe. I loved the colours. In PS I then made the BG black so the colours would stand out more, added the frame, and then very childishly added the flood filter at the bottom. (Thank you Mary!) - I have wanted one for months and Mary pointed me in the right direction - so I got it Friday and just HAD to have a go! Pure indulgence!

Thank you Rob and Jenny. Yes its so nice occasionally to be openly and unashamedly child-like and even better when we can transfer that into an image! #1907406

Many thanks Kerby and Donna. Yes I think it is fun - I was just thinking I may put a print up at work, so that when I am fed up and having to be very serious and pretending to be grown up - I can look at it and smile!! #1907444
