Petra's AOA

Doing this scroll was AWESOME and the look on Petra's face when she got it was so worth it! She loves it and couldn't stop looking at it! Doing things like this totally make my day!

This is a close up of Petra's scroll. I also have a close up of Sorcha's scroll somewhere. I have to dig it up and post it here too!



From this angle you can see the raised gilding.
