............CONGRATULATIONS.......................

Another well deserved award sweet Shirley and one that you posted whilst I was away from UF on my break. A wonderful symetrical background with the peacock and the Lovely Anna set to complete this excellent creative idea. Torn between the mono toned conversion and the colour but I think you got it right in going for the monochrome finish. Well done to you dear Shirley.....My very best wishes to you as always.......a big hug....Ray

I like this, I love the shape of the stair case, and the peacock is beautiful, so is your model, excellent job. I kind of though a peacock would be beautiful in the center of a sunflower, but I don't know how to do that.
