I can't get the camera to show the true colours of this dragon; I think the green fabric is affecting the colour. This dragon is purple. purple and purple! :lol: And the green, although pretty virulent, is not as virulent as it looks here!

Anyway, my little grandson's purple dragon is now complete! :dance:

:applesauce: You've done an excellent job. I can envision the purple too and expect it looks fantastic. Your little dragons have been so much fun to watch.

Oh, I like your two-coloured fancy cross stitch, great effect! And the purple-dragon-on-green is, ehm, very striking :-)!

You can see the reflection of my hands holding the camera in this one!
