All of the images I used were found on the internet. The base of my tag is a picture of a model of the Empire State Building, a classic art deco structure. The jitterbuggers are kicking up their heels and I added a little bling to our lady's dress with some pewter Stickles. I purposedly used a color image for the dancers and a black and white for the job seekers to accentuate the difference between the carefree existence of the wealthier members of society and the struggles of the unemployed at that time. I also really liked the black and white image because it shows both white collar and blue collar guys.
I'm really enjoying Tag Tuesday. Thanks for letting me play along!
Very clever! Love that Life cover image!

Great tag - it sums up the excesses of the 20's so well - both the images and the colours!
