    That's awesome! At first I thought the inner circle was lower to the bottom of the placemat because of the plate. Optical illusion. :o)

    Hi Debi, Wow, that doily is actually spreading sunshine. Love it. Thanks for your kind comments, I really appreciate the fact that you take time out to write to me. I am glad you liked the idea of Raksha Bandhan. Actually this is the first time that my brother and I are in two different states and we could not celebrate it together, so I am feeling a bit sad. But hooray for Indian post, because that's how I sent my rakhi to him.
    Have a nice weekend.
    Love.
