It often imitated the current popular ironwork designs. I had asked for this pumpkin and the cute cat and mouse, and she even threw in a magnet of her adorable doggie Duke and a greeting card she made!!! And speaking of iron...
Let my cry come right into your presence, God; provide me with the insight that comes only from your Word. Give my request your personal attention, rescue me on the terms of your promise. Put your hand out and steady me since I've chosen to live by your counsel. Invigorate my soul so I can praise you well, use your decrees to put
iron in my soul. And should I wander off like a lost sheep—seek me! I'll recognize the sound of your voice.

When I opened your blog I just had to smile, the design looks sort of like a smiling face.
Those designs are great, I love the cat and mouse.
