Now this is what I call "up close and personal." It's like a flower within a flower, two for the price of one. Double the pleasure! A butterfly's delight. Yellow is such a mellow color too. Evokes joy and happiness, a symbol of friendship. So with all its wonderful gifts of healing the body, they also give a healing to our emotional well-being. Such love and wisdom from our Creator. All brought to us by means of your talent Stephen. LV/FV Janet
