You might have seen the Dickens icons already, they were made for the 'Best couples poll' at Dickensblog, which is run by litlover12  I was very happy with the results of the poll, I also love Arthur and Amy as well as John and Bella, so it was a joy making the icons. Making icons for Casualty 1909 is always a joy, it's such a great drama with wonderful characters and lovely costumes and sets.
