Awesome! I tried that once when the monthly theme was go green, but they did not turn out even close to being this cool! Great job. #612049

Thanks for the comments Rachel. What this shot doesn't show are the heaps of frames before this one that were a right mess! Great fun to do, but frustratingly difficult to get the shapes right. #3999653
