So I get this idea see..

Was in Hobby Lobby a few weeks back and they have these tiny LED/battery operated strings of lights and I got an idea.   What if I took one of the inexpensive shadow frames, wrote something about the night on black paper and put the lights behind it (after poking holes in the paper first of course)?  

This was a fun and quick project.  The only advice is I would try to find a string of lights with fewer lights.  It was a bit fiddly trying to get them all in to place.   The quote is from Galileo "I've been too fond of stars to be afraid of the night."   An advanced version of this would make a lovely nightlight for a small child.  AC current though, batteries can get expensive.
