I am a fan of ferris wheels and carousels. Because of that, I have the urge to make a wall out of this scan by Nao Tukiji when I set my eyes on it a while ago.
I started this wall by thinking of something happy and cheerful, like a carnival which is full of laughter and music. Looping on the song “Fly Me To The Moon” really helps me to get an idea on how I want this wall to be. XD
One by one, I added the balloons, confetti, a mini ferris wheels and flags. I’m glad to see that I managed to put everything that I wanted together. X3
Well, I am still making an old school wall with the use of the original scan , brushes, vector shapes and textures. For the brushes, I’ve used the cloud brushes by Coby17 and JavierZhX which I’ve downloaded from DA for a long time ago. (Yup, hoarding in a folder again), as well as the grudge brushes by Shady Medusa . As for the textures, they were downloaded from random places, including DA which I have been using for a while . XD
Anyway, this wall is a belated wall to celebrate my 8th years in AP and without coming here, I would not have the chance to learn walling, as well as get to know some of the amazing people here. XP
Plus, I would like to thank my friends, Isshi, Vampy and Chewub (Cherubin) for their suggestions and opinion. It helps me to modify the colours and add in more details. (Thanks guys,I really appreciate it –huggles-)
Last but not least, thanks for the support and hope that you will like this wall of mine. Thanks again! =3

This is your most stylish wallpaper yet, you got the colors right, I love the arrangement, the addition of balloons and the flags are great, the composition is spot on. This is really good! Love the texture and the addition of confetti like components! A most excellent job! And you said you were sapped for creativity before? LIES

Thanks, Banty. It took me weeks to clean the scan. However, I managed to finish everything at last. XP And nope...I'm not lying. There is someone you can ask to prove it. =P

Yay! Another ree wall! happy dance
As always u really no how capture the essence of a scan, this is beautiful it's just amazing how you put everything together, when I first looked at the thumbnail on the homepage I thought that the whole thing was a scan! But after seeing the original image I was like WOW! The balloons were a lovely touch. They look like they came with the original scan they fit so well. The whole atmosphere looks so lively and magical just like a festival! the colours aren't bright but simple soft colours, which helps add to the whole magical feel to the wall which I love so much! I must say the u r a wizard! and u have shared an amazing spell with us here today!

Cool and warm got together in a mild fashion but greatly pleasing to the eye.
Now this is a milestone wall for ree's 8th year. That long stay of here really is something to be proud off, doing walls that please the eyes of the APnetizens. Others have come and go and you have kept on marching on here.
You got me giving you another +1, and may the walling Lords bless you more.

First thought: Back to USSR XD
But I like it, but it;s still USSR related in my mind. You did great job with details and everything, but still RED collar and trumpet and horse... like on his way to parade. Perfect fit for celebration XD

Back to USSR. rofl Indeed. RED is the perfect colour for any celebration. X3 Thanks for the fav and comment!

hi, Bubbles hugglesThanks for the compliment. I'm glad that I managed to create a carnival like bg and every details added works well together. Appreciate the support! dance happily with bubbles

REE! woah this is very nice! I instantly think "a circus!" Such a good color choice, is not the usual, and using additional colors besides the original is something to recognize. In between, One color may be too strong, and a Thin variation of it will be better but not taking much power over the wallpaper, that's the wine color over there, still a good color. From the big size i didn't realize the various texture, mainly the texture over the BG, I think is not necessary, look nice, and good, but limits the view and the depth over the idea of flying to the moon, i can avoid to think, how will look a pastels colors version of it? A very good job ree!

Thanks, Sai. hugglesI limit on the use of textures and colours when it comes to this wall as I want to keep it simple. XD Anyway, great suggestions and I could play with the colour of this one when I feel like it. Thanks again for the support! XD

Whoo... first impression: "This whole thing was a scan right?" Well obviously I was wrong but your extension just flawlessly inserts itself so well. Uhhh... I would state my other thoughts but it seem everyone has already covered them so... I'll just say this looks wonderful! XD

Lolz. I can't believe that I managed to blend everything so well that it is mistaken as a scan. XD Thanks for the comment, VestigeL. I'm glad that you like it. X3
