This is amazing. At first I thought you had put it in the wrong folder becauuse it was a painting. And then I zoomed in and was like 'holy crap'.

P.S. My husband says, "Rainbow Bright is awesome."

thanks guys!

I LOVE Rainbow Brite and she was the first thing I thought of when I saw the challenge and I was lucky to find these straws at a craft store. It is not as easy to find different colored drinking straws. I went to a few party stores and was excited when I saw that they had silverware, napkins, plates and cups sectioned by color but they did not have drinking straws. The fun part was picking out the picture, I went with this one since she is hanging in my craft room. At first I thought I was a little ambitious and that it wasn't going to turn out how I pictured it but thankfully I made it work.
