Good Afternoon, Donald! So pretty, with all the swirls of the petals, the crisp white against the dazzling blue and as always, you fine attention to details. Hope you and your Fair Lady enjoy a wonderful Mother's Day! #1462412

If I had to pick one of my most favorite macros of yours (and I would be hard pressed to pick just one)...this would be it. In my opinion, flawless work! Would love to see this with Gold attached and am hoping the Judges agree, my friend! Fingers crossed and (for right now:) huge-TX-sized congratulations on a well-deserved Silver! #10188366
