I have loved looking at this thread - although I've yet to try it - looking at your picture, Wulf, I fell in love with this concept all over again! I LOVE happy "accidents" like this and yours turned out to be truly inspirational! Thanks for sharing this! I've really got to try this!

I do think for the lighted bokehs, the best results seem to come from the shapes that were made with paper punches - so I'm off to do some shopping!

Thanks!!!
