Well, the morning light did nothing to help my peacock...I was hoping to be able to show the microbeads in the plumage to a better advantage!
The poor photo quality did accomplish one important thing...my husband is building me a light box!
For those of you coming on this photo first, there is another photo with details toward the beginning of todays' gallery! Thanks for having a second look.

Thanks, for another shot of your wonderful card. I do, indeed, see the micro beads that you place in the "eye" of each tail feather of this magnificent bird. (Lucky you to get a light box...your DH is definitely a "keeper".)

I think this view is substantially better than the first. I can see the little groupings of beads, and the gray shows amazingly! Much more beautiful this time. How lucky to be getting a light box!!!

Your card is absolutely stunning! I love the addition of the kids quote I don't normally see the gallery and saw this as I signed on, so glad I didn't miss it TFS!

WOW, there is a big difference between your two peacocks!! I liked the other one, but I also really like this one - much lighter and cheerier. We really do want our stuff to be seen in the best light, right?!

Hurrah for the light box! I found an online tutorial for making an rather inexpensive one from a square cardboard box. Please let us know when his creation is complete. Nice to see your sample TWICE!
