But some of these are from like, September, and I need to give them a more recent once over for sure! ha! I wanted to get them in while I had a minute though.

Hi Ashley, thank you so much for your comments on my llama design!! I did play around with the backgrounds and opacities, and I just couldn't get anything to work correctly (a blue background made the llamas look like they were in the arctic-LOL) I DID stagger and bring down the clouds, though, and I think it looks a lot better! Thank you for taking the time to leave me feedback. And sorry I am so late in responding, I've had two sick kiddos!
