Whatever you’re up to, keep doing it. 🙃
Left, all the way.
I like the right one where you can see their faces.
I love the one on the right- whimsical dots on dresses with clear smiles on their faces… always a big fan of smiles 😃
Left! Happy atoms floating around....
I also like left! I cannot wait to hear why!
Keep getting those “C” gifts. They are beautiful
