Mary - Sweet Chick says:Yes, gorgeous! I love it too!
Clever use of the bird link for the asymmetrical look. The three little birds on the side add great balance.

Tana says:So cool you added strand on the side! Love the soft affect of the beads you’ve chose, very pretty. I thought of clouds with birds in the sky
Also, I adore your new profile photo; I’ve been meaning to mention that, so cute
