Hi Howard, I love it all the house and the flatties. You nailed the house perfectly. As far as the green spots thy blend it very nicly with the green on the door and the tree. The flattie are the perfect addition to the house!

Great looking green spot house. The flatties complement it beautifully. The faces are not really what you look at on the flatties because you are so busy checking out so many other details, the lifelike poses, the details on the clothes in addition to the house. Such a nice shade of blue which goes so well with the red (and the green spots). Inspirational as always. Thank you.

Very nice Howard. It is fun seeing vintage coconut houses reinterpreted as glitter houses.

Howard, I like how you pre-planned the cuts to let the light show through the tower and side addition, something the original makers often failed to do (but which owners often accomplished by poking a knife through the light hole and hacking holes in the interior).
