I'm sorry Birgit, I wasn't clear. I revised my post. Use the work I chose by Kandinsky to inspire you.

ok! that's better - to find a piece of art would have taken me longer than actually scrapping the thing :smug:

I am stunned by how close you got with your LO to the art. It is just gorgeous. This one is going to be as tough as Kirstie's blind scrap challenge. LOL!

The upload looks really dark when viewed in Firefox 3.5.1, but it's ok in IE 8
