To set the scene in her Belle-themed scrapbox, Darcy enlarged a black and white photo of the enchanting Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. She used a photo of the Disney beauty and her daughter Ella, nicknamed Belle. An elegant dollhouse chandelier, attached with a screw, hangs from the ceiling, while mini books, a candle stick (Lumiere), and tea cups (Mrs. Potts and Chip) sit at the bottom of the box. Draped inside the frame is a pleated and stitched yellow curtain, which is glued to the top and bound with gold ribbon trim.
