Nobody can do spooky like WindRider but here is my attempt.

Poor Fluffy becomes a zombie dog

Done in Picnik:
Color Boost 25%
Crop and slight rotate
Zombify, Add fang and lightning
Apply Ghoulish to resize Fluffy and then apply Gritty and Heat Map to taste.

Cloned out leash. Copy and pasted a head of a Camel and its legs (both on seperate layers) Put into position and slightly lowered opacity. Carefully cloned some of the dogs fur onto the legs and head. Used the warp tool to give it a hump. Last added Flaming Pears Flood tool for water. ha ha should be a desert instead of a lake huh.

Nice job! Can you tell us how you did it?

I used photoshop and separated the dog and the tree using quick select tool. I copied the selected dog to a new layer and blurred the backround. Then I used gradient mask to reveal some sharpness in the backround.

I couldn't resist turning this great silhouette of a dog into a mock logo design.

Steps:
-separated dog from background by using : quick selection tool, close adjustments with quick selection tool, ctrl-j to put on new layer, select by color range to isolate green edges of dog from the grass, desaturated the green color, closeup eraser to shave off the most noticeable dark spots around dog
-cloned out leash which was easy on such a furry pup!
-create new layer, fill color (#9b9ca2)
-chose a texture from textureking.com, downloaded and put into new layer, adjusted fill to 20%
-merged all layers, created circle cutout with elliptical marquee tool
-added circle border, then text (i did this in indesign - couldn't resist how much easier it is to do in there)

Thanks for the Saturday diversion...gave me a nice distraction to avoid cleaning the house!
