    Nessy I always love seeing your creations but I have to say that this one absolutely took my breath away. It is truly beautiful - from the pretty colors and papers you chose to the wonderful image panel and how you created the scene there. I also love the added touches like the corner brackets. All of it is just perfect. This is one of your best creations ever. Gorgeous! Thanks so much for playing at Sweet Sketch Wednesday week after week sharing your wonderful talent with us.
    Hugs,
    Sharon
