The unveiling into womanhood. I love the blushing cheeks that signifed a young girl still who is not ready to say goodbye to her youth. Nice work my Cali friend.

I love this precious Lanterne and keep reading it two different ways. With the choice of the word 'compliment' it seems the cheeks are blushing because a compliment has been paid, whereas if we read it as 'complement' it tells us that the blushing cheeks match the rest of the ensemble. Clever word play. Love, Nigel
