    What's funny is I just printed out a sugar skull digi last night to color. Skulls are on everyone's mind right now.

  6. I'm sorry your fabulous piece got kicked off the site of some closed minded individuals. Brilliant use of embellishments! I love the gems in the eyes and scattered throughout the skull. That tassel rocks! You do Gothic so well!
