An order of Tuxedo101 for horseland.com

At first, i dreaded this manip, but once i got into my ''zone'' it was pretty fun.  I made the background myself. From scratch. then i used a filter to make the black and lavay bits be there, which photoshop clearly did nut like, thus making me paranoid that if i didn't save every 5 seconds i'd close and i'd loose my progress.

Time: who knows.
Layers. WAY too many.

Thank you to the stock providers for the following:

All else was my doing.
