Project Name: Autumn Theme Atc
Project Description:
I made this for bluebird in the ongoing atc swap. bluebird, don’t look if you don’t want your surprise spoiled!
Nowadays, the word mask carries a different meaning than it does in the context of this atc.
The other atc will probably fit another prompt, but I’ll let it be for now until she receives. I wanted to post the other for our time sensitive battle prompt!
