Here is the inspiration for the Dirty Dozen this month, and for me, just to hear Louie Armstrong's dreamy voice is all I need! .
My world is wonderful because of my Sisters, and this sweet image from Squigglefly brought back so many wonderful memories. The image is paper pieced and colored with Copics, and was masked to enhance the background.
Hope you are inspired too and play along! Thanks for looking!
