Thank you! :)

I think the top one benefits from the fact that it's done- though not set yet- and the plique one is still in process. All the holes will be filled with enamel, and it gets a bit more intensely colored when it's completely fired. Also the wee little holes around the outside will be filled with yellow. :)
