You seem to capture the flight of you butterflies with them. Your use of the orange butterflies on the opposite end of the colorwheel of your blues made this piece sing. The greens and the yellow tie the colors together to keep it from being too jarring. Wonderful use of color. -- MEMary Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164993867448430380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817270423416767524.post-3334757651354500132015-06-07T00:12:37.265+02:002015-06-07T00:12:37.265+02:00Hi there after a while again.

The bright pops of butterflies are the thing that for me sttod out and had me a little mesmerized there for a bit. As always Alison, you never fail to come up tops and one of my favourite people to come around to. - hugs - Candice (aka Tincan Crafter)Tincan Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163457812629574346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817270423416767524.post-22623516515889025852015-06-04T15:52:30.915+02:002015-06-04T15:52:30.915+02:00Love the crackle background and gorgeous colours. ...Love the crackle background and gorgeous colours. <br />AvrilMrs.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06259794519132429682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817270423416767524.post-26324152651564484512015-05-31T21:55:56.590+02:002015-05-31T21:55:56.590+02:00I'm just loving the crackle on this!
