A Night at the Palace © First Night Design
Night. An abandoned palace. The middle of nowhere. Two ghostly figures. Now let your imagination run riot. Created with an interior from Wikimedia, my own backgrounds and textures and a clock from The Graphics Fairy. Linking to Brag Monday.
Take care and keep laughing!
