Beautiful Music is this week's way to use it theme, I think to be a good musician we need to start very early to learn and practice every day!! that's why I've chosen this little piano player digi I printed him twice cut one out to mask and stamped the music sheet behind, added a bit of color here and there to make him playing in the spot lights, I added 2 music note brads, die cut the squares and I hope you like it.

Oh my, this is just so precious! I love this little "Mozart" playing for all he is worth on his wonderful grand piano. The stitched panels you used add to the classical feel of this grand card! ~Karen.

it's never too late to learn but always easier when one is young. I have never heard a person say 'gee i'm glad Mom didn't make me take piano lessons.' usually the other way around...'I shouldn't have quit!!!' love your little guy and especially the background.

I DO like it and I agree, starting early and lots of practice make sense in music education. This is a delightful image. I love the subtle spots of color.

Love it, Anita! Your little piano player looks like he's singing and playing. Adorable combination and well done. Thanks for playing in my challenge and celebrating the beauty of music.

What a cute image, Anita - and I love the colour you added for the spotlighting. He certainly looks as if he's enjoying himself. I admit I was never like that as a child - my mother used to bribe me with candy to practice . But I think that you can learn even later, though for more complicated fast passages of music you need agile fingers and no arthritis. DH had a work colleague who always wanted to learn the cello, so she started when she retired and really loves it.

Practice, practice. I would have loved to learn the piano too. Guess it would never be too late to start - he he. Love the musical background and the notes of the song he is singing along with the playing.
