Nearly Ballerinas

After Peter's recent trip to morgue file I thought i would copy him and found this one, which looks like it has quite a few possibilities as well as being cute

Re: Nearly Ballerinas

Darling little girls. I was such a klutz at dance school. At the recitals they always made me a tree. LOL

Thanks for the play, Palms.

Re: Nearly Ballerinas

Wow folks. I hope this one gets wings and keeps flying. To answer Palms, I again used so many filters and GIMP tricks that it would be rubbish to try to explain a potpourri of things (even if I did remember some; lol).

Re: Nearly Ballerinas

What really bugs me is not knowing which one it was that lost the contact lens.
