  Kitty- Carla will continue to be in the prayers from Annie and myelf. May the Good Lord give her the strength to pull through and make her strong.
You certainly brought her some beauty with this gorgeous dedication and I know it will be a bright spot in her day. Love the spot light lighting, the colors are gorgeous and you did a fantastic job with the pov and the details that let us see how this lovely flower got its name. Beautifully done my friend.
