A little "Dreamy" and a little "Orange"

It's 2-fer Friday here on my blog today.  I'll be showcasing, Orange You Glad It's Friday and after a short hiatus Bonnie, Pixel Dust Photo Art is sharing in the fun of
Photo Art Friday again.

Click to Enlarge the photo's.


First up for Orange You Glad It's Friday:

This is one of my favorite roses.  It's called, Tropical Sunset and has wonderful variegated petals that range from yellow, orange and red tones. I forgot to write down the texture that I used but I believe it is one from Nancy at A Rural Journal.



Next up on Photo Art Friday the theme this time is:  Dreamy or Ethereal.


This is a photo of one of my Clematis plants with textures added and some special effects courtesy of Pic Monkey.  I added a quote as well.  I love how this turned out.

Please drop by both Maria and Bonnie's blogs and check out the great photo's and photo art pieces.  -  Have a wonderful weekend.

    Your tropical sunset is stunning as well as the clematis. Love the words too.

    Have a great weekend!

    I love the way this piece just sparkles! With such a sweet quote I'd be interested to see if there was a way to add a soft white outline to the text to make it stand out a bit and make it easier to read in the darker areas of the piece. Beautiful job!

    Both flower photos are gorgeous and your edits bring another dimension to them. What a beautiful rose! The clematis look truly as if they're from a dream realm. Nice how you underlined their meaning to you with such appropriate quotes.

    Oh, that is so beautifully ethereal! Exquisite editing (and now I really want to see that clematis 'live', too...)!

    I enjoyed the rose very much as well - I was shooting dahlias with similar colour schemes the other day and it's irresistible!
