You are suddenly making me long for the starry sky I had in my bedroom from about mid-teens. I had paid the big buck for some nice and very brightly glowing stickers from Mrs.Tiggy Winkles, and then decided it wasn't enough and filled in with the dollar store variety. Best move ever!! The cheaper ones weren't as bright so there was this great illusion of depth in my sky. I made my parents leave them when they sold the house, ten years on they still looked wonderful. I bet the new owner loved them!A Polymer Penchanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847553982464797411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245960788517958704.post-7002761422708451882013-10-26T14:34:25.809-04:002013-10-26T14:34:25.809-04:00Now that's pretty cool!

We've got similar decals on our garage windows to save birds. We had quail running right into them and not only breaking the glass, but of course not doing them any good either. I hated putting them up - thinking they'd be tacky, but I don't really see them much any more. Great job on the shot!Honey from the Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955079572505560557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245960788517958704.post-77725708420171317922013-10-26T11:34:21.091-04:002013-10-26T11:34:21.091-04:00Love it!
