Paris Chef - art tag by Wilma Simmons  I am enjoying a return to creating tags for  Tag Tuesday , an online art tag challenge group. For many years, I made at least a tag a week  but recently found that I couldn't commit to it, so I stopped completely. Anyway, I have been squeezing a little time for this fun activity. All of these tags have collaged paper backgrounds, with a feature image...
