Nativity Scene
Last year we did a Christmas tree, so I though it would be nice to build a Nativity Scene with an outdoors environment.
I started with the basic Manger so you can add and build from there.
The possibilities are endless.
Google nativity scenes and you can add shepherds, sheep lanterns, more straw for the camels, cows, and the list goes on, You can even change it to night.
The rules are:
Please, no gif or animation until Christmas Eve when we light it up.
Save as png files only.
Save to your desktop, then after you are finished adding, save as Nativity scene2, the next person can save as Nativity3.
This should be fun and we all know how many creative members we have aboard, so this should turn out very nice.
You can add more than once if you want.
Please, if you have any questions, please post here.
I will start it with the post below.

I had to widen the canvas to get more in. I goofed and made my characters too small and had to shrink the rest to match.

I cloned in the green to match the surrounding ground.
Would you like some green grass in the image? I could add some green grass if you'd like, I have some very nice animated grass brushes I could use.
I also feel that the main subject (baby Jesus) should be in the center, so there's still some editing to be done.
