Butterflies are such flirts! GREAT stuff here Paul...Love the shy, blushing poppies. My brothers and I collected them and moths as youngsters. To this day, I can name almost every North American species. Gotta try this form...

Your lanterne is perfect . . . glowing red with patches of black eyes winking out . . . this may be your first lanterne but I hope it is just a beginning. Well done dear Paul, 7
