Happy Birthday

 

Black, White, Green, Kraft, a pop of Terra Cotta, and some texture to back things up . . .

 

The succulent leaves got propped up with foam dots while the pot bases were glued down.  This gives some dimension without causing difficulties in the mail.  As for my coloring skills, they have improved but I've still got a ways to go.  At least I'm not afraid to watercolor anymore!
