Great mood setter for our shootout, Ellen. Is that George Bush in there? :)

Great mood setter is right! Fabulous work Ellen :) #4968626

Ellen Powell October 23, 2007

Thanks, Crystal! I'd made an agreement with myself to do housecleaning today. Right. Did that get done? No. But this got done! :) #4968644

Crystal L. Craig October 23, 2007

lol! I did that the other night ... clean up dog pooh and mow the yard, or work on the spooky-shootout image? glad to know I'm not the only one :) #4968724

Dianna Hauf October 23, 2007

The club has us hooked!!!! Yes, we are all damned to cyber space! Dog poo can wait, yard can wait, house work just plain sux BUT neglect a three yr old and suffer far worse consequences than this pond!!

Fabulous spooky work here Ellen! You are GOOD! #4969635

Marta J. Baldwin October 23, 2007

This is definately a great mood setter Ellen! I am looking where I walk! I will have to admit that, I too, have been obsessing over my spooky-shootout image. The guys are in for the battle of the century!!! #4969838

Ellen Powell October 24, 2007

Too funny, Dianna and Marta! I guess I have thrown the gauntlet down, haven't I! I think we'd ALL better fasten our seat belts! This month's SSSS is going to be one heck of a ride! #4970656

Really cool effects Ellen. I really need to sit down and play with my software.

Ellen Powell October 24, 2007

Thanks, Eloise!! That software is totally addictive and time consuming!!!! I am getting nothing else done!!! Heeeeelp!!!!! I need to make an extra appointment with my therapist..... #4970760

Just a warning, fellas. Notice the sex of the lost soul in the Dark Waters? A MALE. Need I say more? #4992361

Samantha L. Dean October 29, 2007

Ellen, I love the concept of this!!! Very cool use of the "Man" in the water! Steer clear boys!! WTG and congrats on your EP!!! #4999588

Ellen Powell October 29, 2007

Thanks, Samantha. I woke up this morninhg to a million emails- I guess it was going until the wee hours of the morning. Won't have time to read them all but am so glad we have this Krazy Klub!!! #4999960

Mitch Spence level-classic November 13, 2007

Oooooo,this is wonderful, Ellen. Extraordinary things lurking in your mind and in your PS fingers. House cleaning??? Are we supposed to clean our houses? Don't they just do that themselves? Or maybe we hire guys to do that boring stuff? #5069036

Ellen Powell November 13, 2007

Thanks, Mitch! Had a lot of fun with this one. And yes, screw the housecleaning, I say! #5069466

Lisa J. Boulden level-classic November 16, 2007

Cool! Really cool!
Well done, Ellen!

Ellen Powell November 16, 2007

Thanks, Lisa- I scared myself with this one!!! #5084850

Melissa McCabe December 29, 2007

LOL!!!! I missed this before - priceless!!!! I love your sense of humour Ellen!! -mm #5266933

Ellen Powell December 29, 2007

So glad you like it, Melissa. It sure was fun putting it together and learning about layering. (This was for the SSS Halloween contest.) #5266961

Laura E. Swan level-classic May 02, 2008

Man. I missed out on all the fun. I joined BP and SSS just a few months too late for this one.

I LOVE this Ellen! It gave me the creeps afer I read your title and description but was relieved when I read the thread and found out that only BOYS go there! Ha!

This is really cool work. And Yes. It's unanimous. All that other Pooh Pooh can wait. FUN COMES FIRST. Except with the three year old. His Pooh Pooh cant wait.

Once he's cleaned up, Dianna, just put him on your lap while you're at the PC! (Or is that possible with a 3 yr old?!)

Thanks so much, Laura. This was my second of 2 or three journeys into layering. It was a lot of fun and I had a LOT more time back then! #5877052
