Birthdays Are the Best!

Here is the carved wooden elephant re-visited . . .

For the most part, I like the layout much better this time.  I'm hoping the camera picks up the wonderful sparkly trim on the elephants' coats – the effect is reminiscent of the lovely mirrored trims on so many festive Indian fabrics.

There are still some nit-picky things I wish I'd done differently, but I suppose that will always be the case.  Just once, it would be so cool if I could figure out the things I'll want to change before I'll want to change them!
