Please read on below.

 

I remember growing up as a child here in the states, that every Easter, different places
offered different pastel colored chicks and ducklings for sale. There were pink, blue,
green, purple, and orange ones. Parents bought them for their children as Easter
presents. I remember receiving some of these chicks and one duckling a couple
of years. Then, the coloring of these chicks and ducklings was banned because
of the food coloring was causing harm to them and other different reasons. I don't
remember the year, I was just a small child myself.
Anyway, you can color these ones and it won't
hurt a thing!

32. OPTIONAL: To colorize the body and wing, just go to COLORS/COLORIZE
and play until you come up with a color you like..
33. Now DELETE the black background layer and merge visible.

Any problems? Feel free to email me. Click on the egg below.
