Theme 38: In the Stars

How you choose to interpret the theme is completely up to you. It simply needs to be tasteful – no pornography or messages of hate here. When you sit down to create, you cannot think about how people will or will not receive your work. You are required to simply enjoy the act of creating.



We have all turned our faces to the night sky at one time or another. Was it to look for Orion, the Big Dipper or another constellation? Was it to watch for shooting stars? Was it to make a wish? Whatever magic you have sought from the stars, bring it to life in any way imaginable.

I'm so excited for this theme! I'm a bit of an astronomy geek and your inspiration picture is so beautiful! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

This is such a perfect theme--I was literally just outside admiring how clear & beautiful the sky is tonight. Is anything more magic than a sparkling night sky?
