in holiday spirit, or perhaps a mindless splurge, Molly decided to treat herself to a beautiful blue necklace. as happy as a schoolgirl, she skips home with her lovely gift in her bag. she enters her apartment, flicks on the lights but nothing. electricity must have been cut off; her unpaid bill lies on a cluttered counter. looking at her shopping bag, she realizes she has three sad choices. return the necklace. wear it for a few days then sell it on ebay for money. keep it and wear it in the dark.
a beautiful day gone wrong...
Your blue girl is so pretty. If I could be pretty while I am blue ,I would be like her hahahaha

Great use of shades of blue and textures. You do very nice work. Their limbs are so unique. Poor skinny little girls. LOL She should treat herself more often if she feels that she'd rather live in the dark than return her necklace. ;D

Awww! She's just adorable! I hope she keeps the necklace and enjoys it in the dark. Because before too long, it will get lighter much later and she won't need the lights turned on!!! :O) HA!
Nice job!!
