    I was thinking of making a sugar skulls lens, but you've done such a great job here that there is no need for me to exert myself. Well done!

    Thanks V! I haven't made the edible sugar skulls myself, there's a niche for you there if you want it. :)

    Wow! They're gorgeous! I really love the skull that's in your intro. Definitely wonderful Day of the Dead skull pieces of artwork here!

    Do you know, Dom, I didn't much like the idea of skull art... then I discovered how beautiful they can be! So colourful and joyous, I love this idea of celebrating the dead in such a way.

    Fantastic ideas to decorate a skull. I will crate some for the días de los muertos. Thanks.

    Wonderful! I'm glad someone else found these as inspiring as I do. So 'Dias de los muertos' should be plural? I had read that it includes 2 days of celebration so that makes sense... will fix my Spanish!
