    Oh dear Julie your cupcake is true "tirabaci"....an italian word that means "Draw Kisses". Perfect painting for lovely Valentine day.
    Hugs and kisses,Rita.

      It has been a long time since I have heard tirabaci. Wonderful word!
      I love this part of February - the anticipation of Valentines Day brings
      smiles to most of us. I expect your memories of past ones will be especially precious. Mega hugs back, my friend.

      Yes - whimsical or decorative. I think putting a border on it takes it into that arena. Good for me to do something like this once in a while.
      Thanks for visiting and am looking forward to seeing what you are doing when you are not traveling.

    Dear Julie - lovely painting as well as beautiful sentiments. Just wondering if the cupcake you used for your inspiration is still waiting for someone to enjoy or is it long gone :)!! Have a happy start to February Hugs!
