Fairy And Butterflies

I am using the wonderful artwork of Elias Chatzoudis. If you wish to use the same tube
you need to purchase a license here: http://mypsptubes.com/
If not using the same tube, make sure it is one sitting down.
I like to thank NikkiLynne for use of her beautiful kit, Long Cool Woman Sampler
