It's time for another round of Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC"). In this round, members were provided with a different type landscape scene. An area for bicyclists, together with small fountains can generate fun themes. I think you'll agree the photograph below provided by @shaka in his contest post: [Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 149 - ✨163 HIVE in the Prize Pool!](https://peakd.com/hive-174695/@lmac/lets-make-a-collage-a-contest-for-all-creatives-on-hive-round-149-163-hive-in-the-prize-pool) will be exciting to work with.

The theme for my collage is **Telling Secrets**. I wanted to create a fun and unusual theme to portray two friends. We all have friends that we trust. Some friends we divulge information that no one else knows. Our confidence in these individuals allows us to believe that the information will be kept to themselves and spread any further.
In the same vein, others tell us information they only want to share for a specific reason. They ask us not to spread their news. It's extremely difficult to keep secrets, especially over long periods of time.
A true friend may be put to the test. I have known personally individuals who have divulged information to me for the specific purpose to test my loyalty and see whether I will spread it further.
I discovered something unusual about my personality as I aged. I no longer want to hear information from others they consider secret. I have enough going on in my own personal life to think about holding onto information about other people's situations.
Maybe it's just being a senior citizen. I want to live my live free of stress. That may mean refusing to hear other people's problems. I've found it has worked well for me so far.

In thinking about secrets as a theme, when I completed the stable diffusion art image, I felt this modern abstract style image was an unusual interpretation of the prompt and perfect to portray the theme. One of the programs I utilize regularly is **Deep Dream Generator**.
Here are my steps for creating my primary image in the stable diffusion program, *Deep Dream Generator* that I used as the background for my scene:
**Deep Dream Generator Text Prompt:**
"Beautiful fantasy woman rising from the ground with roots for veins in her neck and round dome objects surrounding her"."
Options:
smooth; fantasy; oil on canvas; hyper-realistic; in the style of Picasso
**Deep Dream Generator Results:**

My two other stable diffusion images were created using **Night Cafe** and again **Deep Dream Generator**. This is my second attempt at creating a variation of an image from the LIL.

An awesome inspiration. I feel the giraffe image was an excellent sample to interpret. However, one aspect I would have liked is the smooth transition for the stilts.

Created by me in Night Cafe using the image by @eve66 from LIL as a start:
**Night Cafe Text Prompt:**
"Full bodied panther on stilts".
**Night Cafe Result:**

**StarryAI Text Prompt:**

To create the final collage theme, I also utilized two images I like to have in my theme from the LIL. I then uploaded the contest photo and all images into Canva to blend together the images and take advantage of my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.
