Hi Elizabeth - you are doing very well  and I agree, this picture must be one of the easiest ones to colour.... she just suits anything you give her.   I didn't do anything with her skin tone, it selected itself! then  just a little pink to her cheeks, shadows and arm

ps I didn't even know how to restore photos let alone colour when Caz put this one up the first time round  ;D

don't you dare Jim!

Hiya Hippy

My word you've done her justice...she looks even more adorable.  Thank you very much, it's just wonderful.  :-* :-* :-*

Hiya Elizabeth

Brilliant first go, absolutely brilliant.  Thanks for taking the time, it's very much appreciated. :-* :-* :-*

Hiya Jenny

Yes, that first thread was hilarious!  I was a bit worried about reposting her because I didn't want the likes of my good buddies Poll, Lones, Carolyn, Skippy, Yvonne and Tomkin thinking I didn't love their pics to bits because I do,  but she's just so beautiful I thought she deserved to be seen again.

Of course, getting back to your version, to uses Elizabeth's word ..exquisite!! :-* :-* :-*

Hiya Jim

Phew!  You had me worried  ;D ;D but then I knew you wouldn't do anything so awful to this little angel except provide me with another stunning, delicate version! You're a treasure (well, sometimes  ::) ::) ;D ;D)!  A very much welcomed addition to the pile! :-* :-* :-*

Hiya Mudge

Wow and how effective is that, simple but stunning!!  Love it, just beautiful (you took your time though, thought you'd be first cab off the rank!  ;) ;) ;D ;D )

Many, many thanks :-* :-* :-*
