 I worked soooo hard on this and I know it's far from convincing. But I learned tons. And this is one time I am hoping for speed voters :)

I did not have any pretty eggs, but I have always liked the Ukranian eggs, so I decided to take advantage of the Expert rule set and make some of my own. The basket is one image. Each of the eggs is another, transformed with the aid of a kaleidoscope filter into a design that I liked. The hard part was distorting the patterns I created to make them look as if they curved around the eggs. To my eye, they still look pasted on, but I take the fact that no one has commented on this plus the score which seems appropriate for a "pretty picture but not much else" in this challenge as compliments :)
