Very descriptive and expressive..I see from the comments that you won..Seems like I remember this one but I see that I didn't comment..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..I appreciate you taking the time to do that..I enjoy watching the swans come head to head and make the heart...I just thought about what if a Swan and a Goose got a little confused..Weird huh..Sara
