You did amazing play with so many wonderful products. The background using acrylics and a comb on the CP Rectangles is very interesting. Love the coloring and shading with the Art GRIP Aquarelles, the bubbles, the gelatos around the fish and the border you doodled with the Pitt pen. The goldfish were saying, "great job!"
