I can't think of a good word for your masterpiece. They all seem too pale. So, I'll just say "awesome." I love the CB panel raised above your image. Beautiful, beautiful work, Holly!

Like everyone else I really like the way that you have framed this wonderful image and the way that you threaded the ribbon down the side. Great inspiration from this amazing site.

Well didn't you have the perfect image, Holly, to perfectly capture the feel of Erté's work. So beautifully framed too, and love that little ribbon detail.
