I drew inspiration from the colors and also from the fact that the Beatles were rock icons just like MJ. MJ was certainly a bizarre person, but a big part of my pre-teen years. If you played Thriller right now, I could sing every word AND do the dance! I think he was uber talented and have always loved his music. I would like to remember the good things about him and what he contributed to the world. I hope that he is at peace now.

What a beautiful tribute to Michael, Emily! As much as I hate to admit it, I remember when he first performed on stage with his brothers as the Jackson Five. He was such a cute and talented little boy. I, of course, love his Thriller album as most do and was saddened to witness him decline into so many eccentricities and troubles as he grew older.

Nice card and great tribute. Like Charlene said, I remember him as a little boy with such great talent! It was fascinating to watch him develop and continue to grow musically. Very sad that he had so many troubles and died so young. Thanks for the tribute to remind us of his great talent.

It's nice to see someone make a card in Michael Jackson's memory. He was among the best as far as artists go. I agree with you, that I like to remember the best of him and hope that he is at rest. A very wonderful card you have created - to show him among the stars.

outstanding...your thoughts about MJ are exactly like mine, he had gotten very strange, but I am choosing to remember the good and yes may he rest in peace.

What an awesome tribute! I agree about MJ being a huge part of life. He carried a lot of emotional baggage most of his adult life which caused his bizarre behavior. I'm glad that he is at peace now.

This is really nice. I know MJ became controversial, but like you, he was part of my life growing up and I remember the J5 years and his musical genius. You did a great job capturing the original with the Beatles.
