'Digital Art - Collage Background!'

by Mary Lou 'LuLu' Haynes

Howdy and Welcome,

Here is a wild background I made from collaging copies of one of the Paris 2012 journal pages. I used Photoshop and MS Digital Image Editor - playing with layers, filters, distortions,  gradients and transparencies.  What fun!
