Description
Three vintage dolls sit side by side. Gosh does this take me back. Okay, you guys won't remember, but do any of your gals remember having the Walking Betty doll? What memories came back to me when I was taking this shot. I hope it gave you a nostalgic moment, too.

Thanks, Kathleen. I actually did have dolls that looked like these girls. What memories!
Carolyn Marshall
Thanks, Carol. You don't see little girls playing with dolls like this these anymore. :-)

What a delightful image to take us back to yesteryear. The composition works well with the doll leaning into the other two while leaving extra room of the left side. The toning is perfect for this reto feeling. The vingette is a nice addition. Thanks for commenting on my Bleeding Heart.

You are very welcome, Linda. I love working with images from this time period. I can actually remember playing with dolls like this as a child. Although I'm not THAT old ... yet, LOL!
