Alter postcards

 I cleaned up my work table and did some re-organizing of things, which made me more eager to spend this morning in the studio. I found two identical cards - Henri Laurens (1885-1954) A collage he created in 1915. It seems that I got the card at the Pompidou center in Paris. Why two identical cards, I don't know, but I'm happy about it now.  I altered them with the addition of circles. Playing with Josef Albers idea of transparency. Can you see what I did?
