That's what I would do! Can't wait to see how they turn out : )
FABULOUS idea! Bet the kids were thrilled!
I am sorry to report that two of the butterflies were set free by the kids yesterday. They were black and yellow and eager to fly away. There is still one left to take pictures. Hurry home Mumma! We miss you!
