Challenge #59 - Mardi Gras

This weeks Diva challenge was suggested by OwlLovingApril she suggested using a Mardi Gras theme.  Today was Fat Tuesday, the beginning of Lent and the Mardi Gras celebration.

My sister and brother in law lived in Louisianna many years ago. When I visited them we visited New Orleans. It was beautiful with wonderful old architecture, ornate grill work on balconies throughout the French Quarter, Mardi Gras is a vivacious celebration with beads, baubles, gems, and plumes (my new tangle), that's what I chose to reflect in my tile.

I used MG as my string and let it fly from there!
