IC230 - BUTTERFLYS AT TWILIGHT

Photo Details

Poster: Karen B Barber

Wow. Modern Art. Talk about being CHALLENGED...that was me tonite!!! Woo-wee,,,,,glad that's over!!! Took me 30 minutes to pick something OUT!!! I tried to bring in metal elements since my butterflies are not metal. :) Here was my inspiration, or sort of like my desperation:

You have to scroll down to see the trail of metal butterflies, I can't link it exactly - not sure how. Sometimes the challenge is REALLY a challenge, but that's what I LOVE about this challenge is it takes me WAY out of my comfort zone......now the flower challenge from Friday.....not so much of a challenge. :) :) :) Happy Weekend everyone! Hope you like my attempt here! :)
