@Katie-Kordesh I love the designs of these bats! Lovely work

Here is my entry for this month's prompt "Nightfall". A little girl who loves bunnies (bunnies on her blanket) dreams of riding on her magical bunny to the moon. I have shown only the dream part in color.

@RG-Spaulding I think you made this style work really really well! It looks like scratch art! So nice!!

[RG Spaulding]

@KathrynAdebayo, Thank you so much.

@Chip-Valecek What constitutes an "active SVS member"? Does that mean they have an active subscription? Does it mean they participate regularly in the forum?

@Coreyartus I love the colors and the story. I tossed around the idea for this prompt, of running home after being called for dinner. Years ago our parents use to stand on the front porch and call our name. This reminded me of that too.

@deborah-Haagenson I grew up in southwest Iowa, and this prompt made me remember the gravel roads we road our bikes on, and the quality of light turning all the greens kinda orange, and the sound of tree frogs and locusts as the lightning bugs started to light up in flashes all around. I remember realizing for the first time that the moon was appearing at the same time as the sun was setting...

I tried to capture that a bit. It's amazing how these prompts can launch a person down memory lane, you know? So many of these words and phrases inspire vivid memories for some reason. They're hitting the nail on the head every time they announce something! LOL! I love it!

@Coreyartus I do too!! I've been living in MN for the last 18 months. So reading this post of your's really conjured up nice visual images for me that relate even more to your piece!

I remember nights in the hospital. I would always have certain recurring nightmares. It was horrible and I'd get very little sleep.
I am glad you are alright now. Thank you for sharing your personal story in your work.

@rizzyfig

I asked my niece (7 years old) what she would want to dream about at night - and you nailed it.

@RitaGoldner

We vote on the bottom right side of a post with the upwards arrow. But they count for likes not votes in terms of counting towards winners. Lee, Will and Jake make the winning decision. I know I am not Lee and I haven't read any other comments on this but I thought I'd reply.

@Heather-Boyd Thanks for the comment Heather Yeh all good thanks. I just thought this was a nice way to display a very different side to Nightfall, so hopefully people agree.
