 I got this little gal at a craft fair one year. She's a little unusual, at least in my experience. One story here: Legend of the Christmas Spider. Mind you, we don't use tinsel for fear some pet will ingest it, but the spider made it onto a snowflake ornament this year.

PP - cropped, white balance, levels, increased saturation and contrast, toned down a couple of bright spots, dodged spider eyes, burnt a little on spider face, reduced noice, resized, sharpened, added border.

Always fun to see a handmade ornament. This one has a busy background for competition, but still, it's a fun piece.
