It took me 3 tries to get this right. The first was on a teal background. The colors were amazing, but I just couldn't capture it. I'll try that again later. I was inspired to paint little packages when I was at the book store the other day and saw a shelf of little gold boxes of chocolates with green, polka-dot ribbon! For $20. I thought "yikes! I can make that myself, AND get some good chocolate, for much less." I thought I'd try some plain ribbon first. It was a good change of pace and a great challenge.

Love it and love the title too! You've captured the gold and the ribbon perfectly.
Wonderful job, Carol.
Beautiful gleaming highlights against the darks. Great new direction of subject matter!
Love the way you captured the light...and what a lovely idea!
I like how just the suggestion of a few strokes and colors, tells you that the paper is metallic.
This is an exceptional piece, Carol. I love how well you captured the gold metallic. Wow!

I forgot to mention the other day how awesome I think this one is. You just nailed that reflective paper. It really is a marvel.
