Your images are beautiful, Christo!  I especially like the bird.  (The contrast color for yellow is purple, though, and the contrast for red is green.)

 

I see it is not a candle, Helle!  But ... what is it???  I've never seen such a thing.  The seeds look like it's a cucumber or a squash, but the outside ... ???  And the stem is so thin ... I thought it was a wick.  :P
