Everyone has done superb things this week. I did this with two photos using gimp and GMIC

I just had the idea. GMIC did most of the work. :oops:

I could maybe do it if I knew how to 'blend' layers.

Back layer was a picture of grass and a dandelion seed ball. Middle layer was a lady in red (You can see the red at the top of her dress

) and the third layer was the dandelion again without the grass. I just cut an area out of that layer to reveal the lady's face then using G'MIC I ran blend seamless on them all.

Very nice!
While many women may worry about turning gray, that one may worry about
a spring breeze...

Thank you RJKD and animicule.
Hadn't thought of that. With the blending her hair went white and after a while I thought it looked 'electrified'
