Oh my god I am so excited! Well I can’t take credit for the whole thing. I was so worried you were going to crop it. Or mention the small amount of knee showing at the bottom or crop in closer, bla bla bla. But perhaps it was not a worry. Thank you!! ☺

The Magic of Play! This is the result of inspiration that came from many of my favorite artists on Deviantart, some of the artists there have links to some very exciting images for usage as stock. These simple and outstanding creations stand alone as works of art. I share a stock Packet of my palette of the West series as well for artist to use that can be found here: http://resurgere.deviantart.com/art/Package-Equine-1-60734042
It is Essential I give these artists credit where do.

Known as the Gift Giver, that inspired me to start this image. Large backdrops would cost a fortune for something like this. Yea for computers! My mind is thinking of all the rust shots I could use. ☺
Fractals used for top of wings. By Jen and Del: http://IWS-stock.deviantart.com/art/Fractal-Wing-Stock-Pack-1-64433322 It takes a special program to do this sort of art creation. I have never seen such gorgeous patterns, and they glow!!! Rendered in a program called Apophysis.
I used flowers and leaves by the same artist that made them from another program called Daze.
This was to see how they all worked together. I think it better to have photographed the child already wearing a garland and holding flowers L.O.L. As this took a long time to do, but a lot of fun. You simply drag and drop where you want the flowers.
I used a stamp that looks like hair swirls as well. That can be warped turned in any direction as you so choose. You simply sample the original hair color with a color dropper from the color palette to match the hair. Get this! She even has eyelashes. Hair Stamps Made by: http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/
You could make your own.
Many of these artists have some wonderful tutorials using stamps in Photoshop and how to make them.
I used the hair stamp over her shoulder. I simply painted most of it back in though. I could not have done that though without a WACOM tablet. The pen is pressure sensitive and allows you to go from thick to thin strokes. So the stamps can become a nice tool if you do not have a WACOM tablet. Fun to use!
Beautiful Model Daisy and white wings by me. ☺
I hope the links work.

Thank you Jim! That helps my wonder.
