For those who love gorgeous autumn tubes, NataliaNZ's "Letana" is the perfect addition to your collection - a stunning beauty clad in a phenomenal strapless gown that flows with nature's colors of deep reds, green-golds and hints of autumn orange, gold leaf jewelry and a wreath of tiny yellow autumn flowers in her hair.    

Letana comes in a nice large size, so she can used in full body size or as a close up head shot.  She is available for purchase at the following stores:

Lady Mishka combines cute and vampy with her chibi doll series appropriately named Vamparilla.  Vamparilla 1 is wearing the vampire-standard colors of red and black in a cute little minidress, cape, fishnet stockings and heels, with her hair in high, bunchy pigtails tied with spiky clips and carrying a glass of something tasty (she says it's vintage O-positive!).  She comes in both regular skin tone and vampire-pale toned. You can purchase her here.

And you can get some bonus snags in this design here!

I love all butterflies but the monarch butterfly has always been my favorite.  My 2017 birthday tube generously created for me by GraphFreaks, "Darice" is a lovely brunette dressed in a pale orange gown with jeweled bodice accents and a tiger lily flower crown.  And of course, the butterflies coming to pay court to their fellow monarch. (Darice means "queenly" in Persian!)  

She comes in a full size tube along with two closeups - a half tube and face close-up.  I matched her with an awesome kit created by Designz by Sue.  You can purchase Darice here and Sue's match kit here.
