Delightfully fun ornaments added to my holiday decorations.

exactly as pictured: pleased to see that each is painted with great accuracy by the artist, even though they probably turned out a lot of them during the holiday season.

Hes just delightful! Hes larger than I expected and just glorious! As always, the wrapping was super fantastic and my precious creature was kept very safe and secure.
