There's been a full moon this week, a beautiful full moon. I'm more conscious of it probably because my picture book about the Apollo Eleven mission to the moon is about to launch. I took a picture of it just to remind myself how beautiful life is.
I did the same thing last November during the "super" moon phase, and here it is.

I realized this photograph was just what I needed for the back cover of the moon book. It was positioned exactly in the right spot with ample room for backflap text. But when I inserted it into the template and placed it beside the front cover, it seemed a little off. The front is an illustration, not a photograph and they didn't match.
After a few trials on other options, I returned to this photograph and tampered with it. Toyed around. Played. And I ended up with this.

Next I inserted the words and TA-DA, back cover!
But when I look at the almost full moon tonight, I'll not be thinking book cover. I'll be looking at it and appreciating it for the beauty it is.
Catch of the day,
Gretchen
