Color/Mask challenge Wk 1 & 2 - Millie

I know it was sort of cheating to combine them,,,but I was desperate LOL....Colors are from the color picker, Mask was from the video lesson and the brushes were from the 30 Free Photoshop Swirl Brushes - Smashing Magazine. I used Old Glory for the font as it seem really appropriate. I did a photo and then decided to try to do a whole page...I think it worked ok.
