Poppy is a star.. by maggiemae

Poppy is a star..

This poppy was sown by a bird into a large pot on our deck. It struggled on its own amongst other flowers to get to the top. Growing at least 2 feet above all the others it produced one flower!

Three good things;
1. Wonderful music on my iPod for Sunday morning in the sun.
2. New lights for the garage that have to stay on for three days for some reason but its like daylight in there now!
3. Jigsaws that don't take too long to solve.
Spectacular capture, amazing background

Beautiful colour.

You asked on Vikki's page about sc. @summerfiled. It is not as difficult as you think personally I don't use photoshop so don't know how simple it is I use ribbet. Upload your shot, this would be a great test shot, go to effects, pick b&w, then click original on the box. Then colour in required section. It is better to zoom the shot and often make the 'brush' smaller. Start with easier shots and work up, it is fun, (sometimes) ;0) and like anything else practice makes perfect. Hope this helps.

@claireuk thankyou so much, Claire! I do use Ribbett but needed to be directed to use "original" in B&W! Iam so looking foward to doing this!

@yonnie I can do a 500 but with a 1000 piece I end up getting mad and sweeping the whole puzzle off the table into the air!
