I started Moonlight Prowl a while ago.  I  had the Mom cat and leaves along the bottom placed and I knew what kitten image I wanted but hadn't made it yet.  I also knew I wanted to include the moon in the sky which I stole from my other image titled "There Once Was a Bug Who Loved the Moon".  I've been wanting to create a collection of cat images for us cat lovers and this was one I wanted to include.

What Leaves were used? 
I was inspired by the large brown & green Maple leaves for the Mom cat, with the black spots.  I learned that the black spots are a disease called Tar Spot disease.  I LOVE learning new stuff!  The kitten is a combo of light & darker Maple.  The nearly black (or dark green) Maple leaves along the bottom are Norway Maple.  I absolutely loved the purple Persian Shield leaves in combo with them!  Very lush...

I had a hard time deciding what color to make the red moths as it seemed red was the only color that showed up well.  I didn't want them the same color as the cats or purple leaves.  So red it is!  Barberry leaves.

The spotted green & white leaf on the right is a Polka Dot plant leaf.  The white/gray leaf below it is a Kiwi- it has this little green edge on it.

A  couple of fun surprises!  I had originally wanted all the moths to be the brown ones and placed in the watercolor background...I didn't like them.  BUT when I placed one on the black leaves it was lush, like the purple leaves!  When I lightened one it seemed to be OK next to kitten.  Then...I was looking through my stash of scanned leaves on my computer and I found an image of a Banana leaf that was  curled.  My wee brain said "that's a Snail".  So I love my little Snail below the Polka Dot leaf.  His foot is made of grass on it's side.
 
ENJOY!
