Winter Landscape

Although I have the voice of a croaking toad, I love to sing. My family will tell you that I know one stanza of lyrics from almost every popular song of my generation...BUT there is always a mistake in the way I sing the lyrics and the way that the songwriters wrote it. For example, one of my favorite songs to sing at this time of year is Winter Wonderland.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

I didn't hear it quite that way. What I sing is:
 

Waltzing in a winter wonderland

So, here is my winter landscape. I started with a photograph of a blue winterscape. Next I drew the ghostly couple from the Charles Dickens' era, waltzing at the bottom. I strategically highlighted it with a glistening embossing powder (which doesn't show very well on the photo). I glazed it a bit to blur it more. I couldn't fade the waltzing couple as much as I wanted to because the photo paper doesn't lend itself well to that kind of alteration.
