Loveship is Magic - Collage

I made a Cadance and Shining Armor Scene for the Shining Armor and Cadance Day on Equestria Daily. Truth to be told, I didn't even have the scene depicted in this collage in mind but started out with another scene (which I am going to upload right after this one). I had the "shiny thread stuff" (no clue what it is actually called; it isn't tinsel) which I used to symbolize magic in this szene in store ever since I got my hands on it in December, meaning to use it in an origami scene. The other scene turned out to be too crowded (too many changelings ) to use the "shiny thread stuff" properly. So this scene here was actually sort of improvised, but I think it turned out quite nicely.

Princess Cadance is the most complex origami I have made so far (hybrid origami I should say since the mane, tail, and trinkets are printed on and cut from adhesive labels rather than folded). Her long mane falling on one side of her face required some special arrangements. She is also the only winged pony I made so far who requires different cuts depending on whether she has her wings folded (as she does in this scene) or spread out (as will be the case in the other scene I mentioned).
As for Shining Armor, his "wedding uniform" somewhat limited the option for the position of his forelegs (which is why he doesn't seem to hug Cadance back).
As I mentioned above this image series was improvised to use that "shiny thread stuff" but in this improvision I could improvise a flower arc from remaining paper flowers two of which you may have spottet before in my Hearth's Warming with the Hooves series.
