I had it going in three different directions, none of which I liked. I was visualizing the art piece I wrote about in a story the other day, titled Kansas City International Airport. If you go to that one, you'll see the picture of my inspiration. It was totally different than this, but I couldn't get rid of the background or crop it in a way that worked. Canva didn't recognize it as background. So ... AI was the answer.
It was finally the colors of the original image that reminded me of Unicorn Poop, a candy I've seen around (I think it's pastel swirly marshmallows.) LOL
