Take Word Challenge #45 - Butterflies

Thanks to June for hosting our Butterflies challenge this week!
My butterfly lady is made from two E.Vint.com images (altered and overpainted) and a Googled butterfly.  The background paper is by Irene Alexeeva and the two edging overlays are by Vera Lim.  Words from a Dolly Parton song.

    I'm almost lost for words to do this justice, Marie. So rich and vibrant and full of verve and most of all full of fun and of course, the DP lyrics are just right. As Bev says, this is a real show stopper. Bravo.

    Butterfly-lady looks like a super heroine! Love the background and overlays. Unfortunately, not always love is gentle, but we forgive Dolly Partoon ;)

    Glad that you told that the words are by a song from Dolly ! I recognized them immediately but couldn't figger out why !

    Marie...I asked it a while ago to at Judy but have you ever considered to publish your work into a Artbook which you can create online ? I'm convinced it would be a treasure for you and your family !!
