That is one of my favourite quotes, too. And it really does work well with the dragon! Very good idea!

Here it is with the quote added. I am thinking it is going to need something on the right side to balance the project. I am thinking of a quick boarder.

Sorry for the poor quality of the picture I took 10 and all of them were blurry this morning.

That looks really good, Rose. I'm not sure about a border, either.

Lovely alphabet you've chosen for this Rose! As for the border -- I must admit to being rather obsessively symmetrical in designing things myself, but this looks so good as it is that I'm not sure I'd add one here; a border might take the eye away from the dragon and the quote.

I know ya'll said don't do it but I had to it just looked to ackward with the quote on on-side and the other left open.

So this is what I did to even it out. I am much happier with it now. I will wash it and frame it and then he will have both when he comes home.

Now I see what you meant, Rose. It is indeed better this way. Well done! You have a great way of picturing things in your head - I am not so good at it.
