A couple of ATC's I made for a Day of the Dead themed
swap on Swap Bot . . . with pictures that I took in Oaxaca last year.

Holy cow! It took me several scrolls to notice that the cool DotD Frido Kahlo was actually: YOU! Seriously awesome costume.

seriously cool costume. wish someone had gotten a picture of you in situ, though! thanks again for hosting sugar skulls and finding the time to party hop over to sven's birthday. :)
Love the calavera Frida costume...that's so funny, I was thinking of maybe going as Frida for *next* year :)
I especially love your two ATC's. Really cool and lovely.
