The 13th of this month
our Gator has a Birthday!
There is not a one of us around here
that don't have a Gator story
(and they are all so good!!!)
I just want to thank him for being my friend
and always being there
when I have needed help
(or, as in the case of MM ,
being there to catch me if I fell)
Thank you, Gator for all you do and all you are!
AND HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Now on with the picture...
I took the pictures below:
1.
of course taken from the net
and than enlarged in Gimp...
2.
Stolen from Luxy (Monica) with permission of course
One of her many great pictures of our Gator.
~*~
Now that Rita has created a monster ,
next of course I went to GIMP
(where, even though I am so lost, I love it!!!!)
Enlarged the gator eyes picture.
Put Monica's picture over it.
Erased the space between his hat and his shoulder.
Made the top layer 52% transparent.
Saved it and went to Picnik and added the frame and saved.
Than turned it all black and white and saved.
Went to Photobucket edit and added the words.....
