'Mabel's Windmill'
This is my version of Mabel Figworthy's wonderful Windmill.
I couldn't get the Threadworx 'Bradley's Balloons' but Mabel suggested Caron Tahiti.
Then the 'BLING' took over as I decided to make it into a birthday card for my daughter. So there are silver daisy sequins with yellow bead centres and a yellow sequin in the centre over the Greek Cross.
I mounted in onto some cream silk which is why it's not flat and tight in the mount.

Your daughter is going to love this "Keep Forever" birthday card!!!

Extra bling is always good - I like how you've turned the sequins into daisies with their yellow bead centres!
