For Your 75th

A not-very-good last minute birthday card for my grandma, who turned 75 on Sunday. I drew it in my new sketchbook, and it was the second thing I coloured in it (didn't get a picture of the first; shipped it off to my niece the second it was done). I rather like the firmness of this sketchbook's paper, but the texture makes the colouring look kind of funny with pencil crayons. D: I really haven't done front view for a long time, so don't hurt me for the awkwardness of the picture. @_@

Anyway, this is Milly Rose, who simply goes by "Rose" 'cause she doesn't like her first name. [This] was her first appearance here on dA. XD Her colour scheme is still very tentative.
