Picture search results for: Cottage

All made in Photoshop.

After looking at many images of Victorian houses as reference, I based the design mostly on one in particular, listed as a source (although it was only a reference; no part of the image was actually used in this design).

Originally had placed copy of house in pumpkin, but couldn't get the details to show up well, so went with the kitty..

This took, like 3 days lol, after trying lots of different ideas..ended up with this..

Many thanks to sxc, gnmills, gobran111 and parhamr, for use of the pictures..

edited per suggestions

Cropped and resized image...made kitty pumpkin larger and blurred the roof a little

Removed the pumpkin frame...

Added more 'hill' so house isn't floating..:D

I remember Mom making gingerbread houses when I was little..just a little token of remembrance for her...
