Side 2. This is the side with the pocket. It has six lightning bugs in it because he was 6 years old. They are stitched with glow in the dark thread on their tails. the pocket is sewn with clear plastic. His name and the other words all all stitched with glow in the dark thread so it really lights up in a dark room. The green around the edge is just a wide, dense zig-zag with florescent green to make it bright in regular light. It was fun to make and the lighting bugs sewed perfectly!

Thanks! I think the black background really set it off! I kept giggling as I was sewing it because it was coming out better than I imagined!

These are Yoriko's lightning bugs, and for the text I used an alpha called Yipee, I wish I could remember where I got it! I digitized the little pocket, which I could share if anyone needs one. The lightning bugs are two designs: the pair, and the charms (without the eyelets) Can't you just imagine the fun hiding these and finding them because they glow in the dark?! Being FSL they are thick and nice!
