I wish I could claim the Red-winged Blackbird photo but I’m just not fast enough taking pictures so all I got were reed photos!
Text Reads: We heard the birds before we saw any. I knew they were Red-winged Blackbirds by their call. Then I saw one dashing about the reeds.

Construction: I used ArtPlay Palette De Novo Solid Paper #3 for the background, with a solid color adjustment and blending mode Color to better match the lighter AnnaColor Challenge palette color. I added the edging 12X12 ArtistEdges No 3 from Edge Overlays ValuePack No 1. I revised the color and used blend mode Color Burn.
I placed the De Novo FotoBlendz No 1 #4 and clipped my cattail photo to the fotoblendz layer, modifying the size slightly. I placed an extraction of a black bird on top of my photo (Public Domain photo from PxHere)
I then placed two ArtsyTransfers under the FotoBlendz group, #4 across the bottom edge of the FotoBlendz and part of #5 at the bottom edge of the page.
I also placed PaperTextures No 15 #1 at the top left edge of the FotoBlendz to contain my fotoblendz photo.
For the clusters, I used MultiMedia Branches No 19 #2 with the twig rotated vertically and parts of #3 that I modified. The title is Beginning WordART Mix No 2 Wood Word “one”, duplicated with blend mode Color Burn.
