Thanks to Mike Gifford ('Reality') for his instructions on achieving this effect. I don't have Lightroom so bumbled along merrily with Elements and a photo from the archives. I now have an ear worm singing 'True Colours' in my head - I hope it goes away soon!
@ivan@tonygig@joansmor@littleconnie@redandwhite@redandwhite@hermann@tibles@dkbarnett Thanks very much, I tend to play in Photoshop when I just cannot find anything to take a picture of - and that's been quite often lately! @cmsch52 Thanks Carol, glad you like it. If you search for Mike Gifford's 'Reality' you'll see a reply he sent to me on how he achieved his image. I haven't got the same software so had to improvise here. I could not work out how he'd make the paper tear and curl up but it's very simple. He's been very clever and torn a piece of white paper up and made it curl, taken a photo of torn paper and used it as a texture. I would never have thought of that! The result I ended up with was just a matter of using selective colouring on layers. Much easier than the Little World pic! I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for the info Felicity.
