Inspired By #80 ... beach day

 
ahhhhh … a day at the beach!  love every single bit of it... except maybe these pesky beggars... but I've found a way to keep them occupied...
 
 
A bit of acetate-splotchy-distress-oxide-painting, and these gulls were feeling right at home.  I took my cue from the clothes line in the photo... and isn't it fun that one of these fun gulls from MFT is standing on a piling?   
 
Hope you have as much fun with IB #80 as we did!
