I think we all take off on flights of fancy once in a while to escape the humdrum of everyday life. I have used a collection of background papers by Vera Lim for the background (layered over newspaper) and the "buildings" and the carpet. The dreamer is by me except for the face which is a freebie from Ali Mayes at Flickr and the Blog. Thanks Ali!!
