I considered it for a while, but had some qualms about duplicating a gift like that.   Then my grandmother moved in with my aunt and uncle &#8211; and took the sun box with her.    Which made a duplicate seem even less appropriate. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I thought about this for a bit, then bought a new empty shadow box and got some green grass paper for a background and some bright yellow &#8211; and made four of these flowers in a box for my aunt.
