  25. Hi Shari,
    I am loving that red polka dots paper!!! I also love how you coloured your image twice differently. This is one of my favourite things to do! It is so neat to see how just changing the colours changes the entire image! They totally look like two different girls :) Sorry I am late getting around... I was just having so much fun partying in the sunshine yesterday I didn't want to stop! LOL! Thanks for being part of this!
