Three-element collages - part 1

The first of the 3-element collages are arriving, and boy are they fun!  Many of you have said you found this exercise challenging.  It's good to push ourselves once in a while, right?  It's how we learn.

Hats off to everyone who has pushed through their discomfort and completed the challenge so far.  I love seeing the way everyone is interpreting the theme.
