How to fit a frame with spare parts? Thought "kaleidoscope" symmetry, and collage cut/paste/flip, or even butterfly image. While looking at the butterfly joining, the skull/Xray look seemed to have promise.
Lots of layers: leave one copy of Original as base, stack everything else on it.
- Cut lower left corner city lights, resize to fit entire frame.
- Cut lower right purple lights, resize to fit entire frame.
- Copy resized purple lights, flip top for bottom.
- Distort image of CW singer to more of a square. Make four copies.
- Flip two of those to mirror image. Arrange 4 images as shown, merge.
- Paste 5th copy on upper right as shown.
- Cut oval shapes out of purple light, blur, place in eye sockets of "skull."
- Add vignette to ease bright edges.
Opacities and modes are too numerous and changed too often to record. Play with them.
