    Wow Nessy this is terrific! I love how you colored this adorable image - with just the pops of color on the hats. Such a creative way to do this. I'll bet this is so gorgeous in real life with all the shimmery, glittery sparkles all over. Love your papers too. Such a great job this week (every week!!).
