Nikki McDonald level-classic May 08, 2010

When someone knows that I like -- I mean really like -- a re-sub, I usually try to pick a different favorite that month but in this case I can't resist making this my pick. I think it's made for the MT or the MT for it :) Good luck.
Actually I'm glad not to have to pick from among my other favorites: "My Universe" for the rich color and detail and the wonderful surprise of the ladybug; "Projection" for the light, tones and delightful elements of design; "Best Friend", another perfect fit for the Joy MT; and "Sunlit Trio II" for the terrific bold colors. Should be a good month for you :)
