Thank you Colleen:) #7746901Joseph N. DiGilio July 22, 2009
Outstanding portrait of the pondering prince Patricia. B&W is without a doubt the way to go. It matches the pieces on the board and your son's dark hair and light complexion. I'm sure he'll treasure this one for many years. #7771566Patricia Ronan July 23, 2009
