Author gypsykate says: Congratulations to the winners: 1st Place-MAXIDESIGNS (Gypsy); 2nd Place-JUDEMAC (Gypsy Lady); 3rd Place-OFELIA ROCA (Gypsy Queen); COC-MEDDY1965 (Dreams). The beautifully arresting image of the gypsy dancing with the wind is so inspirational, finely crafted like a painting, so perfectly blended and further enhanced with a quote make this a truly outstanding scrap. Everyone did a really great job, I had to view all scraps several times before I could reduce my favorites to 15. Among these 15 and excluding the winners' entries, the following were also considered as COC up to the last minute (no particular order): -LATE_BLOOMER (white angel of death); -RON'S MONKEY (under the gypsy moon); -CINDEE (Gypsykate BG); -SCRAPPY MATANTE (Esmeralda Flower); -VROON1188 (gypsy theme 1); -SIMSAGE (Spirit of the gypsy); -CS7580 (a gypsy mom and child); and, -savannah's grand mawmaw (little gypsy heidi). Thank you all for joining! Jan 10, 2009
