This is so beautiful and again you have come up with words for the letter which didn't even cross my mind - I do hope I receive one of your tags at some point during the swap
Another amazing tag Paula. The facts and literature about the peacocks was extremely interesting and allowed me to see how this influenced the creative design of your tag. The rich purples and golds lend a very majestic quality to the design.
I'm with Aquarius here Paula. The thought and research you put into your creations is amazing not to mention the beautiful stamping and precision cutting. Fabulously rich colours too.
I hope I'm lucky enough to get one of your tags as well.

Wow! This is a stunning tag. The research you do for each one is brilliant. I had heard that peacocks were associated with death, but resurrection is so much more positive! Stunning delicate work and a great colour combo too
hiya Pepie good to see you posting i am loving this tag huni the gorgeous stamps are devine i love the gold embossing on the purple it looks fab hun and the peacock stamps i just love xx
I'm running late Paula, but pleased I got here eventually.
Impressive research again adn a stunning tag. The little gold leave are so pretty and the single gem in the centre of the cross picks our the corner perfectly.
Have a good weekend.

they're both gorgeous tags Paula, love the original way your mind works! Am hoping I might get one of these - but will have to get a move on and actually start on mine..........
Oooh, such a lot of thought went into this tag Paula. :) I never knew about the symbolism of peacocks or any legends either.
Gorgeous background stamping, it really looks soft and feathery. The embossed crucifixes are really eye-catching and have such a lot of detail too.
Hope you had a great Easter, and have a smashing weekend hun :)

Beautifully executed as usual Paula, your attention to detail is second to none. A truly inspirational tag in every way.

Stunning tag Paula, love the colour combination of gold and purple especially the subtle gold peacock background with the darker purple and the gold embossing. Take care Debs xx
Paula both of your tags are amazing, I love the colours in this one and the wording.The bit about peacocks is very interesting, I didn't know any of that. I love your H tag too, you have a wonderful way with words to come up with such interesting themes.Sorry I didn't take a look here sooner but I try not to look at others tags until I've finished my own, and I have only just done that.Jean x
