May Ornament

I finished my May ornament!

 It was a challenge for me because I ran out of the floss I was using about 3/4 of the way through the ornament.  There is no LNS nearby that carries Needle Necessities.  Even if there were, overdyed floss varies from lot to lot, so just choosing the same number would not guarantee the same color.  I improvised, using 2 DMC colors to mimic the variation.  Can you tell where I switched from NN to DMC?

You did an excellent job with the floss matching! I certainly can't see a difference.

So well done, I can't see where you have switched threads!

Really lovely! We must have similar taste since I have this one pulled as a possible stitch for next month.
