For my second matchbox dresser I decided to use an Asian theme and used a combination of Chinese  and Japanese images  and items.  Instead of a mirror I used an image of a Japanese woman and on the dresser top I had some Asian coins, Mahjoh cards, and an origami Japonica with leaves.  On the back of the dresser I used the image from a small gift bag that I picked up in Chinatown. This swap-bot swap we had only two partners and my second partner also flaked and the hostess as I mentioned before did not angel.

 I created this dresser for a swap-bot swap,theme was open, and you had to have a minimum of 2 drawers in your dresser.  I had a lot of fun with this and was able to find lots of cute piece in my stash to act as dresser top decorations.  Instead of a mirror I chose to use a bingo card.  My biggest disappointment was that the person who was to send to me flaked and the hostess did not angel.
