THnx to google.com for Balloon Stocks and hope you like it

Only gnome source was used for everything in this entry. Some shapes were made using liquify tool, others with lasso tool and brush tools. See SBS for details.

The Leaf lines reminded me of Hot Air Balloon panels, and texture of sand dunes, so I combined the 2 ideas. Any suggestions on improvement welcome.

Thank you redheadstock for the use of your cloud brushes.

I'm determined to create as many images for this contest as possible using only my own sources, or using only the source provided. I know that the pixie isn't the best, but it is from the pxleyes source.

Only the source and photoshop was used in the creation of this image.
