Final Images
I really enjoy the following images alone as they are, however I am looking to use the form of the flowers to digitally construct a new form. I want to cut out the flowers from the backgrounds and layer them over each other on top of a simple gray tone background to create possibly the form of a dress, using multiple images to create a single image.
