I've got to go with Margie on this one...Dahlia is totally taking over the spotlight. (Though your little mermaid is very close behind her.) So cute. Great coloring! Glad to have you with us, Randi. Hope to see you back at DCRU DT Blog in the future.

Smiles!

I could stare at your cards for hours. They are just sooo beautifully colored and detailed. I really love the blending of colors you used in the last card...are you using contrasting colors? The transition is perfect.
