Ah, 1968....I was about to go into my junior year of high school. It's kind of funny, I was more of a folk song girl, you know, civil rights, protest, antiwar, but when I looked at the list of top 100 songs, I knew a lot of them. Don't ask me how, I didn't listen to the radio much.
I chose Fool on the Hill, written by Paul McCartney and re-recorded by Sergio Mendez and Brasil '66. It was a top 10 song in 1968. I had forgotten how much I loved that song and Brasil '66. Love that Latin feel. McCartney was inspired to write it for two reasons: the Beatles had started to follow Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who came across as a 'fool' because of his giggle, but was really a wise man. Also McCartney, during a walk with his dog, saw a man suddenly appear and then disappear. One wonders what Sir Paul was smoking. But anyway, there is a line in the song about the world spinning round and that's what inspired this card. This is also for today's FS, cathymac. Hard to believe she's never been FS: TLC746 Color My World by cathymac at Splitcoaststampers
Instead of a globe, I used an armillary sphere (I hope this is right) which shows the stars and constellations. My card is less colorful; I used a bubble painting for my background. Different layout too.

I love all versions of this song (Kiri TeKanawa did one that's terrific). I really like the saying and using the armillary is fab, mf!!
