    Awesome! The garnet really pops against the beige. Great idea. Can’t decide which butterfly I like best. :)

    Awesome pick! I just love garnet (it’s my birthstone after all) but I can never think of good pairings for it. Well you’ve nailed it! I’m going to have to dig out my garnet stash and get to work with this great inspiration you’ve given me!

    I breezed past this and read F I G H T of the butterflies. what the??? :) Maybe the garnet is the bloodshed?? I think I need more sleep. :) Upon closer examination, I see it wasn’t as violent as previously thought, but beautiful in fact. :)
