I love doing this -going back over the sales for the year and looking at what designs were the most popular for the year.

Because Birthdays remain the favorite occasion for cards, it's a separate category.

In the RiverbyNight card shop -

Aviatrix pages 4 and 5

I don't get to draw as much as I would like, so progress is slow on this story. The good news though is that progress, however slow it might be, is better than no progress at all. :)

Page 4 still needs a bit at the bottom.
Page 5 got inked last night and will be posted soon.
