Description
STAR CROSSED LOVERS. JAPANESE POETRY by JENNY RAINBOW.
" I thought I saw the fallen leaves
Returning to their branches :
Alas, butterflies were they."
"Butterflies ... symbolize spring, maidenhood, and happiness within marriage; one old Japanese custom involves sending two large paper butterflies as a wedding gift.
In Japanese poetry, butterflies have been used to symbolize star crossed lovers..."

I love the teal background. It really add drama and yet a cool relaxed feeling. Definitely adding to my favorites collection.

Jenny,you have introduced me to a butterfly I have not seen before. It is not even very colourful,but could not be more exquisitely beautiful. Amazing patterns and breathtaking fragility. I managed NOT to visit your zen collection today !! How very lovely to find this.Your dreamy turquoise background is the perfect compliment too. v/f
Jenny Rainbow replied:
