  1. Oh, my favorite was the first one! Love the way you brought together some novelty prints (horses, gnomes and strawberries) but in a way that wasn't overpowering =)

    1. Wow! Thanks Rachel. When I scrolled through all the postings I saw lots of mosaics with those colors so I decided to pass on uploading it. I guess next time, I'll just have to go with my gut!
