Three Muses Challenge - Buttons and Bows


Thanks to Bev for a great challenge. I am old enough to remember the song "Buttons and Bows" sung by Dinah Shore and the words in the picture are from that song. Other bits and pieces from Kubivet, Outsider Artists, Phuong Ton and Createwings/Catherine Designs.

  15. Those were the days!!! I wish songs and movies were as fun as they used to be. Dinah Shore was from my home state so we always related to her singing. Your art work is great. I love all the strategically place buttons and other goodies.

  20. This is such a wonderful image and I love the face image as well as the buttons and bows. I found the music to this song in a relative's piano bench and practiced until I could play it. I wish I still had it now! This has been a wonderful challenge. I'm working on mine now and hope to finish it today! <3
