Thank you so much for looking Jade! That’s a lovely colour to have. I appreciate you sending me the information. I do have that one recorded but it never hurts to double-check. I’m going to be updating the version charts to make them easier to understand (I hope 🙂 ) I’ll be updating it tonight so keep an eye out. 🙂
