Happy Saturday! (Or Sunday, depending on where you are.) That floral shape is the same one as in this year's "Space Spider", but heavily filtered and recolored. After its transformation, it made me think of candy corn. Hence the title and the kids' Western motif. Hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed making it. Song reference , give or take a spelling change. :D The accidental candy corn via filtration has happened before. Here , for instance. But that always was a favorite Halloween treat for me. So I'm good. ;) Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3900 X 3375.

1950s, 60s, and 70s source material, referencing an 80s club hit.

I haven't found it yet, but I'll never give up! :D Shown smaller than the original completed size of 5100 X 3102 pixels.
