 I found the old sheet music overlay from Playingwithbrushes on flickr here, and just had to use it. I racked my brain to think of a picture with a person in it (I don't take too many people pictures) and remembered this girl with the tatoo who got in the way of my camera :-) So after lots of overlays and color changes and adding a tambourine -- TONS of processing -- this was the result. I know the tambourine is in a weird position, you wouldn't play it like that, but I was too tired to find a better one. Maybe some day... Here is the original

It's wonderful to be able to restyle an old photo into something unique! I think you did a great job with this. She looks like a modern Gypsy but it has a special antiquated quality to it. The tattoo definitely gives this a native american feel and they do pow-wow with tamborines.. perhaps she's eclectic.

Awesome processing! I thought gypsy before I even opened it. Brilliant match to her tattoo!

Cool combination, Colleen. I like the colour, and the overlay is wonderful. Glad you got some use out of the girl who got in the way!
