Yes, Lauren, we do, but in a completely different way. Grief and tears, instead of laugh and joy...

Thank you Sergio and Mark :) Yes!! I did notice the skull Sergio and thought my imagination was getting too frisky. Glad you see it too :) Does Brazil celebrate el dia de los Muertos also?

Gorgeous moth Lauren. Amazing imagination Sergio. :-)

Lauren, did you notice that the area in its "neck" resembles a skull? Buen vestuario para el día de los muertos... :-)
