I made this for Custom Celebration 8 and it was a project that took on a life of it's own. I have tried to use it for a back drop as much as I can, without becoming too predictable.

I would say 12-18 hours total work went into the construction and paint. Being able to fold into itself was a challenge that almost broke my mind.
