~Summer At The Beach~

Graphics Challenge #46. Put on your shades and sandals,this week's theme is Summertime. We've provided a couple of images to get you started
(a sun and two flowers), the rest is up to you. The idea is to create a summertime image using both images provided, and whatever else suits you.

I used an image I made years ago using AppleWorks to draw a picture of my dogs with the mouse; I copied the image over into PSE4
and added color to it. I found an image on the Internet of a beach background that was solid colors - no shading. I used the magnetic lasso
tool to separate everything (sand, water, sky & mounds) and put them on their own layer then used different filters and effects on
each layer. I put clouds in the sky layer and used the comicbook effect on it, added the water ripples in the ocean using graffi ocean mist,
put noise onto the sand layer, and crystalize on the mounds. I also used various filters on the pail & shovel, on the sun and on the flowers.
