I decided to enter this in the 2D section because I did a bit of postwork in Photoshop. The images of the cake, hat and ballons came from photos.com. The figures ( Apollo Maximus and V4) and the background were rendered in Daz studio. I applied one of my paintings to Apollo's shirt and a photo of clouds to Vicky's pants. I thought the image of a 10 year old's birthday was appropriate to the contest's theme. I think I put about 4 hours into this image, not including render time.
