MD:69 Cinderella needs 19 Crystal Treasures 13015. The error is on the graph. The symbol for 13015, a diamond, should only appear on thr upper half of the design, around the head and shoulders. There should be NONE at the bottom of the design around the feet or the lower part of the dress.
MD:72 Guardian Angel - Braid #4 829 should be #8 829
MD:83 - The Feather Fairy. The symbol ">" DMC 725) on the green feather on the left of her skirt should be "7" (DMC 907)
