   Alas, this one isn’t working for me. Too pink. Too something. And what’s that u-shaped thing in the middle of her forehead?

     I think that’s the nose. Yeah this one certainly picks a color and goes for it. Such is the tricky nature of finding source images on FlickrCC. The image I uncover makes or breaks the whole operation.

   Travis at first glance I was so sure that the white part was a diaper! The cheeks the legholes, the eyes fasteners of some kind? Maybe I just see diapers everywhere I look.

   But Hitty – oh, I must have read that book fifty times when I was a kid. It had been my mom’s. My cover was plain buff, but that just made it look older to me.

   :p

     Ha- I’m seeing the diaper. I guess that makes this cover an optical illusion as well?

   lol, oh yeah, now that you mention it – it makes sense – one that goes all the way up to her hairline. It also has a peptol-bismol Coraline vibe.

   Maybe her second hundred years will find her a decent cover! Hitty is nothing if not patient.

   Overall, however, I do like your cover – - er – - ups? Overs? Re-dos?
