I think I pretty much cleared out my collection of smiley faces to create this artwork. See how many you can count!

The small chocolate came from a café in Bordeaux, the Disney dollar from California, the beer mat from Amsterdam and the toy car is one of mine from the 1970’s. There’s even a bit of a Christmas Cracker in there. Guaranteed to make you smile :-)
