This is number 3 in the series of 3 frames in my Carousel
Series. I am unsure of whom the artist is of these lovely
pictures as I received them in a graphic share.
Thanks to Blaze and Christine for allowing me to offer the masks
for the frame Please do not change the filenames.
I hope you enjoy this frame.
