Blue Group: Lesson 6

This could have many more doo-dads (if I had a range of clipart and a lot of time, I can see how I could dress this up with cartoon balloons and anchors and whatnot), but I like it. It's got the kids sleeping, dreaming of what I want to do! Heaven knows if it's what they'd like to do, but (now here's the tricky logic) THEY SAY (whoever "they" might be) that parents dream through their kids, so...

I used some maps and the sailboat and the cover illustration from the Arthur Ransome Society website (I'm a huge Arthur Ransome fan), and, of course, you've seen the sleeping kids on another project. The background texturing was really very fun and simple (maybe simple equals fun?), and the dropshadows on the two photos lifts them off of the dream-world background.
