oh love a little vintage but a little vintage beautifully coloured with a fabulous sentiment and vampires is out of this world
Hugs Kate xx:)

Denise said...

Coops this is stunning - I adore this Tiddlyinks image but did not buy it because he is a vamp and I could not think what to use it for!!!! It works so well as a wedding card though. I love it.
Our theme this week over at The Pixie Cottage is monochromatic and this would be a great entry.
Hugs
