I love the vibrant colors as well. I have never worked with h2os before but your butterfly sample certainly inspires!

[Maryann]

I bought these twinkling h2o's a few months ago, but hadn't played with them yet. Do you think my work would understand when I couldn't make it because of a "creative emergency?" Thanks for the inspiration.
