Do you enjoy using the fun features on your photo editing programs? Sometimes I do. I use Picasa 3 (it's free!). I created the collage above in that program. Under the basic options of Picasa 3, there is "Picnick". It offers many free features too. For the following two pictures, I chose "Sketch", "Museum Boarder" and the "Text" options:

I think that these would make cool greeting cards. What do you think? Have a wonderful weekend, everybody, and thank you so much for stopping by to visit and comment.

So beautiful!!
Can I invite you to join the meme I just launched? It is called Color Connection, you can just post anything with color of your choice. Hope you can join the fun. Thank you!
I love Picasa and Picnik--they are both such fun. Love the castle--so ornate and pretty--I'll check out the post on it. Have a nice weekend-those 2 days sure come and go quickly. Mickie
The light on the top photo bends around the draperies (or trim?), and it is quite imaginative - it seems to me a bolt of lightning, or the blade of a saw. And so artistic!
The large old houses are beautiful by themselves. Your edits of both are wonderful, sketched in pencil or perhaps charcoal. Lovely finds!
Oh, you're having so much fun here, Kathy! Still, I like the first photo best, right out of the camera.
Funny you should mention greeting cards. I just entered a photo of our dog Lindy in a hallmark.ca funny animal greeting cards contest.

If Casey had managed a sinister leer, that would have been creepy.
I don't use either, maybe I should.
Good for you for trying out new programs and things, Kathy! And I love the photos of the houses!
Best,
Gloria
P.S. My name is showing up below, so I think this comment will actually post! ;)
wow, what a smorgasbord of photos to look at. I love the colorful houses. and I love the photo of Casey too; I don't find it creepy, but moody and introspective and artistic. It could be a painting by a Dutch Master. very cool. I like to play around in Picnik even though I have Elements 9, because it's faster and easier! happy SSS, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend Kathy.
Great shadow shots and I love what you've done with the editing of those other photos! Wow! It is fun playing around with the editing programs and we're so lucky to have such a great variety of free ones available online. I hope you're having a lovely weekend so far :)
interesting architecture in your area.

What a pretty house!
I use Picasa and Picnik too. It's fun to put a different spin on the photos.
Really nice shadow patterns and that castle is gorgeous!
Shadow shots, have a great week ahead.
What A Stunning & Beautiful Building!
These are great! I love the sketch option... I haven't given picasa a try but these are absolutely beautiful - it helps that the pictures you started with have so much detail! I am glad that I followed your link from Shadow Shot Sunday, I too am linking up if you'd like to visit.
Hugs, antonella
