Aha that's lucky :D

I just did this one ~ slightly pushed for time so I'll look at it again later or tomorrow to see if I've done anything REALLY weird :rolleyes:

I've used the ground pattern to obliterate the background because I thought it was interesting and have added a little texture to the background only (not the people).

I've deliberately not cropped it so you have plenty of room to play with, top and sides, if you want to put it in a frame

One does need infinite patience and decent concentration to do a proper job ~ with no interruptions from OH !!!!!! thank you :d


Aren't there any colours you can suggest ?
It's always better if the pic owner can offer up an idea of what colours the person liked to wear :)
