"Funny bunny"
It is very festive. The only thing I dont like is a tail looking like a stamp and it is not painted.

"super addition to my giraffe collection"
I love the elegance of giraffes! I have several from Novica. This little guy caught my eye and was a Christmas gift to myself. I am so pleased with the intricate detail and bright colors, and the overall quality of the piece. Very happy with my purchase!
