Aurora Aura
When I start to create a digital abstract, I never really know what it’s going to end up like; sometimes something comes out of the background to overshadow what I’ve been preparing as the main focus of the piece.
As in this image, when I realized that the backdrop was way more interesting than the design in front,
I was tempted to ditch the design and let the background stand on its own. But it looked more interesting with the design layer faded into near oblivion, giving the digital smoke something to react against.
Was going to title the piece Digital Smoke, but thought that was somewhat unimaginative; I wanted to recognize a perceived aura of the aurora borealis. And I like alliteration. 
As always, I am ecstatic when a piece fits nicely onto a card with minimal cropping damage
