This is beautiful. The photo alone is awesome, but I love the way the paper mimics the rays of sunshine.

Oh, I love this! I love how you used the radiant paper with the sunrays in the photo. Your word art is outstanding. Nicely done.

Thanks for the wonderful comments!

I especially appreciate the comments about the paper. Because, the background paper was created by using SG_ANarrative_Paper_BMU_Butter blended with COL_Inspiring_Paper_PinkYellow because I love the colors. Above the paper I used the shape tool to create the sunrays, then I simplified the layer and used the gaussian blur filter to soften the rays. Changed the blending mode and I then clipped the COL_Inspiring_Paper_PinkYellow to it and lowered the opacity. Selected the sunrays and created a new layer and inverted the selection, then filled with white and lowered the opacity. Selected the marquee tool to create a circle selection, feathered and inverted the selection and finally deleted the outer edges of that layer. Oh and then nudged the layer a bit to offset the rays on this layer.

Why do I have to do things the hard way? *shrug* I do have some great sunray papers but I was hung up on using the above mentioned papers because of the colors.

Wow!!! I have read and reread your explanation of what you did and I kind of get it - but I am blown away by how complicated it sounds and that is only the backing paper!?! lol :wacko: It looks incredible and totally worth the effort. Totally. Your photo is gorgeous too and the clustering, but I really love how you used the photo to inspire you and just ran with it - this is wonderful :-)

The background is gorgeous! Thanks for the mini-tutorial. It's a neat photo too and I like how the sun line blend into the background ones. The wordart is pretty neat, too - you've blended your different fonts beautifully.
