Adorable little guys! I can't decide if you shaded them with a different thread color, or if the shading is from the light source? Looks like dark thread stitched over the lighter which is a technique I often see with your designs, and love love love how they stitchout for me.
Thank you for your kind words.....no this is a play of the lighting.......not blended colors.....
Thanks for the info! Using light for the right effect is a sign of a fantastic digitizer!
