Something for the Weekend - Part 257 - A lucky new year!

Thank you to all who took part in our previous Christmas challenge.

We have now entered a new year and, thanks to an idea by jane-e, I thought we should create something that represents good luck for 2026. With that in mind, we start with this 'lucky' horse-shoe. what can you make with it?

The “rules”:

• Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
• Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
• Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
• The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used. 
• There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
• The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser). The image has a transparent background so there is no need to cut it out.
