The little star dots in the lower right corner...

Then I decided I wanted to do a boldly colored flower so I searched for a lotus blossom.

I knew I wanted somehow to get a Buddha shape into it so I started playing with size and shape.

Then I played around with placement on color photo copies of my background.

The end result...
