I think you’ve destroyed this perfectly!! You can still tell what is going on without worrying about copyright, plus, you’ve got a fun variety of iterations!!
Sylvia, these turned out so well! It was really fun getting to see all of your different iterations and how you got there. Your process is very informative of your style.
