Amazing what a bit of color can do, I won't talk of our sun here, it has been freakishly beautiful!

The white near the baby (center of attention!) and the use of the orangey-red in 2 places to balance that arresting blue! And yes, that is the same color as you're using as the background for your string diamonds. BTW, they are looking really good!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-32252917220677144932008-02-28T00:03:00.000-05:002008-02-28T00:03:00.000-05:00That blue is certainly eye-catching.
