I like your idea of a color sample board.

Pretty cool.

I started using color "sample boards" a few months ago--they are very helpful!

This is so beautiful! Howard may I ask what kind of glitter you use for your final effect? Do you put painters tape over the windows if you use spray adhesive?

That is a SUPER SPARKLY glitter house! LOVE IT! It looks like a larger sized house, if you don't mind me asking, what are the dimensions? Really GREAT job Howard, can't wait to see the others!
