It is that time of year when everyone is busy getting ready for a week + of activities. I am putting the finishing touches on my home. We have an Open House every Christmas Eve and our friends and family stop by during the day to have a cup of good cheer with us. I needed to find something that I could send to my e-mail list this year and didn't have much time to create a new piece of art so I decided to go the computer and let Photoshop work some magic.

The thing that I love about Photoshop is working in layers. Layers helped me to make this wreath easily. I duplicated, re-sized, rotated, positioned and faded only 2 butterfly drawings that I had done and scanned into the computer. Can you imagine just how many butterflies I would have had to paint to create this wreath? I am not sure, but I know that I would never have gotten it done by Christmas. I was able to sit down and work with Photoshop and in a few hours……. viola! I had this wonderful little wreath to send out to everyone on my list.
