Pillow Talk Swap 7, Received!!

Pillow Talk Swap 7, Received

I am feeling so lucky.  Just look at this gorgeous pillow sent to me by Dawn aka, guiltyquilter on flickr.

I just love aqua of any kind and she paired it with some bright oranges.  Isn't that one of the best color combinations ever?

She also sent along some sweet extras.  Thank you so much Dawn!!!
