Working digitally can feel rather stifling and I am FED UP with having my eyes glued to a screen all day. But, my goodness, there are some wonderful things that are only possible in the virtual world of Photoshop.

Photoshop to the rescue! By isolating the troublesome clock face and balloon, I was able to completely change their colours.
I love the way that, with just the sliding of a few scales, I can experiment endlessly, until I find colours that work better:

The colour swaps work very well :o)
