A quick TDC today as I’m being plagued by idiots busy at work at the moment. For today’s create I wanted to blend together one of my cats with Vincent, so I found a pic of Cagney and inserted it into a PPT slide with the image of Van Gogh used for the TDC.

Do I wish it was better – yes, but I didn’t have time to play in GIMP today. Still, only 1989 days till I can retire!

Then I went back to Lunapic and used the Starry filter
