Would someone be kind enough to add some colour to this lovely lass?

Thank you sooo very much Meg, it's really lovely.  What a difference the colour makes - and I can't see any boo boos. ;)
I'm making some scrapbooks (four - one each for different members of the family) as a way of presenting my genealogy research, and preserving it for future generations (I hope), and my eldest sister has come up with some photographs that non-one knew existed, including this one.

thanks Lones,
Gillyg, you can't see the boo boo, cause I hid it  ;D ;D ;D

pleased you like it, but wait a bit, as you may get a number of options to choose for your books.

Wow, thanks Smurf - I do like what you have done to the dress - it's now very like the Gordon tartan that we had to wear for school uniforms.  You've really brought the whole picture to life.

Thanks Niksmum, everything looks so much sharper and more detailed.   Just  can't believe how kind and talented everyone is on here.
