Great composition not only for the original, but also for the layers combo. I especially like the grocery cart! I'd never have thought of that on my own. I'm off to the store...

Wow, very cool. I love the use of the shopping cart in the composite. So clever.

Does the new upload mean your schedule's calming down a bit, again? :)

This reminds me a little of my kitty (which makes me sad because after Christmas she's going to live with my step-daughter far away and I'll miss her...ok, it is her cat, but I'll still miss her). Some interesting textures going here.

wow you have taken something ordinary and turned it into a work of art. I have got to learn to work with overlays and blending.
