The rare Rainbow Spider species was dying out. They both knew it, but had no hope in finding a mate. They were each despairing, until, at last, they found one another. Love blossomed quickly. Shortly thereafter, she bore eggs, ensuring the the species would survive!!
Cropped, selected spider body, added layer, used the gradient tool in the selection on the new layer, changed layer mode to overlay and duplicated, flattened image, increased canvas size, duplicated the layer and flipped horizontally, moved new layer to where I wanted and masked out unwanted portions, cropped, selected spider on right and scaled to larger size (for some reason this actually duplicated the spider, so I had to clone out the parts of the original spider that could be seen...weird glitch), Cloned stuff at bottom so they were actually standing on something, used "lighting effect" to have light on nest, flattened image.
