Thank you so much @AZK. But I think @joyfulheartdesigns should get most of the credit for her beautiful paper.

I always enjoy this challenge b/c I usually try to learn to play the music and this music turned out to be easy to play. I've been challenging myself to use my laptop and Affinity Photo instead of my usual desktop computer and Photoshop. Normally I'd have a gazillion fonts to play with, but...

Gift 2 please - thank you Sylvia

What a fun game! And I found some new music to check out :) Past Three O' Clock and Sleep, Baby, Sleep to Sleep, Baby, Sleep Past Three O' Clock (we're relatively new grandparents)

So here I am thinking that I'd practice using Affinity Photo on my laptop instead of using Photoshop on my desktop - I mean ATCs are small format, how hard could it be? I hate AP!! Things that would be absolutely trivial in Photoshop (especially masking) are a pain or impossible in AP. AP has...

I really like the unusual way you stacked the photos.

Such a wonderful assortment of stars. The Van Gogh was an especially nice touch. Congrats on the Standing O!

I too like the striping ...et la photo de la petite fille si industrieuse :)

I love your muted palette and the way the text tracks the leaf. Congrats on the GSO

Ya gotta wonder what Charlie is thinking! I love the way your cluster spills out from around the frame. Congrats on the GSO

Really great placement of the cute photo amongst the flat graphic elements - and thanks for the process notes :)

This really cheered me up b/c these days it feels like everything's coming apart at the seams. Congrats on the Standing O!
