LMAC#147 Entry: "Creepy Down the Road"

It's been a while since I joined the Let's Make a Collage contest by @shaka and I really miss it a lot. Earlier, I had free time and so I used it to make my entry for the latest round #147!

Here's my collage:

For my entry, I didn't have a specific concept or a specific reference for my collage. What I did is work on it as I keep adding the elements to my collage. It's a playful way to create a collage and a fun way as well.

Here's how I created my collage

The base image for this collage:

1) Added the first elements of my collage, the skeleton is meant to make the image look creepy.

2) To add some unique twist into my collage, I've added an oversized mushroom and a lighthouse and end of the road.

3) To add some interesting elements in my collage, I added birds and a hot a ir ballon at the sky.

4) Here's the fun part, collor editing and adding a texture layer to achieve the grunchy effect... creeeeepyyyy!

5) For the finishing touch, I added some lighting effects on the Lighthouse!
