A Rainbow for My Girl

I loved the cute 'Valentine Sprite' freebie from Aurora Wings, but I didn't get to colour her up in time for Valentine's day.  My daughter saw the image and wanted me to do something for her though.  Her favourite colour is basically 'Rainbow' as it seems to change every day,,, LOL, but this suited the new challenge very well.
