Pelicans everywhere, v

The background is finished--hooray!! 

I didn't attempt to continue the background pattern in this little area between pelicans.  Life is just too short for that headache.

Now I've started stitching the individual pelican heads, top-knots and beaks.  Beak doesn't sound right.  The head is basketweave and I'm using the diagonal mosaic for the top-knots and beaks.
EDIT:  I remembered--pelicans have bills.  Glad I finally remembered that!
