  Wonderful burst of colour Rakesh!! I absolutely love it but cannot make my mind up if I prefer it to the simplicity of yesterday's. I guess I just love them both!

  Rakesh, I spotted that they were not the same pencils as the 1985s. But it shows how much you moved on from then. Great matching BG

  Rakesh,

I like the black background, but this is WOW! Very cool and it draws you in (no pun intended). I also like the lighting here as it makes each pencil stand out.

Best,
