TRICK or TREAT?
It's A Trick of Course!
Can You Believe This Is A Red Bell Pepper I Made For Dinner?
I cut it in Half and saw THIS FACE!
I used my PAINT PROGRAM, Curves & Layering
To Make The Rest Come To Life!

The Piping Peppers
Time Is Passing Very Fast
Queen Kewpie Says,
"The Future Is The Past."
We Hardly Understand When She Speaks
Yet We ~Know~ We've Been
In The Forest For Weeks.
Vague Days Walking By
Huts Made of Thatch.
Secret Vernacular Villages
And Many A Pumpkin Patch.
The Smells of Horrid Soups Fill The Air
Caldron's Bubbling Everywhere...
Not Trusting One Word
That A "HOODED" May Have Said.
Kewpie Whispered
"Only Trust The Peppers That Are Red".
"THEY WILL SHOW US THE WAY OUT,
IT IS NOT FAR.
THEY SAY THERE IS A ROAD BEYOND HERE...
WITH A WAITING CAR".

Hi Rony!!! Thank you! It was fun to make. I took this picture while I was making dinner! This red bell pepper was sitting on my stove on a white chopping block! I painted in the eyes etc., in my paint program and painted out the BG. I didn't know how to us my PSE7 program yet so this was painstakingly done by hand!Took a couple of hours to get it right!I appreciate your feedback!

Hi Laura Lee, Jo Ann, Carol, Tommy, Reynaldo, Steve, Kalena and Ron!When I cut this pepper in half, getting ready to cook, I saw those seeds looking like little teeth and then the possibility of eyes being painted in and well, it snowballed. The photo shoot began and dinner was late! HA!
