My sons at their first circus in 2003. Justin was 10 and hated clowns, Jason was 5 and a little overwhelmed!
The background is pp11 rotated 90 degrees in Color Burn mode over pp1 flipped horizontally and add edge 5. Add elements, paint, and stamps. Clip photo to mask for circular frame, fill film strip and add title. The title was beveled and embossed.
