This breaks my heart, recycler! I'm so sorry for your family's tragic loss.

I love that turtle, Boston! I think you did the right thing in changing the background to have better contrast. You don't want that beautiful turtle to get lost in the background.

Thimblebug, have you ever tried holding the binding with clips? I was late to get on the clip bandwagon because the high price of Clover Wonderclips (the first to come out) was ridiculous. Now you can get generic ones on Amazon and Etsy... direct from China and probably exactly the same. They work great and you won't have to pinch.
