Happy Happy...

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare. -Japanese ProverbThis week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge is a Gorgeous set of Japanese themed Cupcakes.

Our sponsor let us play along with some of their images this week and I picked the Japanese Lanterns (I have been eying them for Ages!!!)
