    This is so cute! I am celebrating my son's birthday today (so much work) and he is the king (today :-)..
    My favourite point in this painting is the curled line under the word circus. And of course the butterfly, whoose wings seem to look like the little flags..
    A beautiful giveaway – You are a very generous person.
