Howard and Lynn, the fence is my interpretation of the fences that are on the houses in the set I am doing. I just drew front and side as one piece and then scored the middle for the bend. So yes, the side is the same as the front. I'll have to check to see if any of the houses have a fence on both corners. The fence is flat and just cut out of the cardboard I'm using for the house If that doesn't make sense, I'll be glad to post a picture of my pattern.

Here's a remuddled three peak Dolly house I acquired many years ago--it's been glittered and textured but I thought you might want to see it--gold foil chimney--green foil house

I still like it despite the "remuddling". I especially like the green and gold foil. Lucy
