Happy Winter

The clouds sift the flour over the plain, children play with it, they knead some snowmen. People look wonderfully at these snowmen that are so cold and live for only three months. Children are very happy with them for only three months. When the wind is blowing and it is very cold, only the snowmen are playing with each other, talking to each other, thinking about children and waiting for children. Nobody knows that the snowmen are looking for our happiness and they need hearts as them to understand how short it is happiness. Children know that happiness has been for only three months while snowmen stayed with them. Valentin Gabriel Cristea

BTW, Amy, those snowflakes were created with some photoshop brushes that I downloaded from the internet. I have not done much with brushes, but this was fun.

TTYL. Need to get some pre-company "stuff" done around here.

Oh, boy! Snow Day! Beautiful snowflakes, Ms Bear, and how perfect is Thoreau's poem ~ each snowflake stars indeed!

I read your later comment about using PhotoShop brushes to create the snowflakes, and while most plug-ins that work in PhotoShop also work in PhotoImpactPro, alas! "brushes", as such, do not. I installed PhotoShop Elements about a year ago, so that I could take advantage of some of the things compatible with PS, that won't work in PI, but outside of playing with different brushes and a few edges I don't have in PI, I'm still not as comfortable as with PI. (Can't teach an old dog new tricks maybe. *Sigh*)

Anyway, you made a very lovely opening graphic out of nothing but snowflakes and text .... and that POEM! KUDOS! :)
