Loose Ends

Im very much looking forward to a visit from my Mom next week, so im putting all of my effort into tying up loose ends on some of the various craft projects that have been stacking up around the house. You may recall this earlier photo of butterflies in a round frame with nice convex glass that I picked up at a thrift store:



Well, butterflies are awfully popular lately, and someone probably would have flipped for this item just as it is, but Im not too into those orange and brown butterfly varieties, and the gold frame really didnt have any place in my current decor, so I freshened it up with some nice creme colored paint, and converted it into a display for a piece from my fossil collection that had been hidden away in a box for ages. Which version do you prefer?
