4 x 4 Challenge - Spirit - "FREE SPIRIT"

Thanks for the challenge! The background paper, overlay and flowers are by Lauren Bavin, the
butterfly by Irene Alexeeva, the face from Suzee Que at Flickr and the body by Lorie Davison, overpainted and altered. The digital painting was done in ArtRage (a wonderful painting software program) which has a metallic paint - very useful in blinging up a picture. Check out the gold and red edgings in the larger version).
