The Three Muses Challenge - Take a song, any song.

This week’s challenge is to take a song, any song, to inspire you in your artwork.
I have chosen “Eleanor Rigby” which is a touching study of loneliness.

“Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice where a wedding has been.
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face she keeps in a jar by the door.
Who is it for?”

A slightly sombre subject but I am sure there will be an avalanche of beautiful, cheerful takes on this theme to make up for it!!

We can’t wait to see what our wonderful artists have in store for us.

Is the challenge a song, or buttons and bows? If it's the former, I'm using the ABC" song as my inspiration; if it's the latter, mine also has buttons:
