The Ornament Challenge.
Mini Dork has challenged miniaturists to create a scene using a holiday ornament (find further details on my sidebar or go to Modern Mini Houses). Unfortunately, the ornament I wanted to use didn't work in any scene. In fact, it looked horrible in every scene.

There are fireworks outside.
Wishing you only good things, Neen

She was purchased from an estate sale at Circus Circus Dollhouse.)
