Here is an update. I have now done 3 pages.
It is not a pleasure to stitch as it is so confetti strewn and the colour changes are horrific.
I do however, love the way it looks and will persevere.

It definitely looks great -- shame it's not very pleasant to stich, but gosh it's worth it!

Unfortunately I can't as Artecy have discontinued this pattern. I don't even have a photo in colour to show you. Sorry.
