Artistic License Required: Create a wallpaper with these two images.

Lately, I seem to have the equivalent of "writers-block" trying to make a new wallpaper for my desktop. There are so many creative people on this site and I'd like to see what they "see". Obviously, the theme is music.

I got this image off the web, so I don't know if there are copyright rules.

On this one, every pixel is mine, no copyrights.

I'm not "creative", I'm feeling myself more like Caravaggio ("absit iniuria verbis") who was always in need of a precise model before starting painting (at least that's what I read).
Hence, I cannot help you, but as you said there are "creative" members here around, hope they will "participate" in this very interesting "game".

Hello again. I'm just hoping for some inspiration. I'm not very good, but made this wallpaper last year. It's time for a change and I'm all out of ideas.

I guess I'll be the first.
It's not much.

Since your last image was of spaceship popping out of the screen. And this one you want to be music theme... I was thinking maybe you could draw a road like you're driving on and with lane markings to be lines on the music sheet (4 lanes) and music notes could be yellow paint on the road so like you're driving on musical sheet. I don't know just an idea that came to me after see your music theme and 3d pop out spaceship

I dont think you can copyright music notes, but here is a music notes wallpaper I made with some brushes I downloaded

And another one. It was a straight music note line that I put through the flag filter in GMIC

-SeriousTom: I think you were going for this, yes?

- trandoductin: Good idea, but I have road and record from a few years back. The wallpaper I'm using now was inspired by a Stephen King novel titled "11/22/63". The owner of the diner always refers to his computer as "The Enterprise".

- Norseman142: WOW! The Jester. I would never think of adding that background. (Which is why I'm so bad at creating interesting images.)

- Mainah_Ayuh: You are definitely from my era, I can name them all! - Good one. There is a idea there I'm going to try

Thanks everyone! Keep'em coming!

OK, Millie; I painstakingly placed each one of the disks for you.

- Wallace: WOW. That's cool. I did try to make the 3D highlights on the music, but your looks alot better. You even got my avitar! (I made that years ago on XP with a freebie software - ArcSoft 2.0)

- lylejk: Yours made me laugh. I like how literal it is. "Put two things together."

Thanks.
I was too quick in closing my Gimp and made the mistake of not saving the xcf file.
However,
I did manage to take a screenshot of it.

I got it. I had all the "parts" on my computer the whole time.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and suggestions.
