The animals are so happy and the Pied Piper is playing to the glorious sun. Diana Marye (the esteemed illustrator) has outdone herself, as usual. This Chagall inspired illustration is named for his wife Bella, whom he loved madly. (Really romantic and beautiful love story.)

The Bella illustration is letterpress printed in hot purple on brightwhite cotton cardstock (InviteSite is home to 2 of the finest letterpress printers in the Southwest.)

This panel serves almost like a bookcover — since the invitation is structured as an A7 booklet with a pocket on the inside. The invitation is bound-in, using either waxed linen thread, or thin satin ribbon. Very romantic, very sweet, very sophisticated:
