Mary, this is lovely. I like the background color you have chosen. It is a wonderful compliment to her pink dress.

Very cute. The handling of her dress looks great as well.

Beautifully done. Enzie is right - the color of the paper is perfect for the overall color scheme. You do have a way with children - and pastels!

Thank you Enzie, Jimmie and David, I appreciate all of your nice comments. I can't help but comment how dark this is looking on my monitor though, I seem to be having a horrible time posting accurate images lately!

This is lovely, Mary, and I agree with everyone who commented on the color harmony you chose. I think you are cornering the market on cute children in North Carolina!

Thank you Linda, I just swapped out the original image with one a little closer to the real color..I give up, a technical wizard I am not.

Mary,

Lovely piece! That LaCarte color is so wonderful against skin tones. I also want to comment on how effectively you have handled this vignette, losing edges at the bottom of the portrait, but retaining them at the edge of the sleeve.
