I Liked this piece of art. it’s just like stamps with the word YES connected together , it really gave me a positive feeling. The word YES is one of the most powerful words in the world. Its only three letters but it have a big meaning and power. Everyone understands the word Yes. We use this word everyday in many situations! We use it to communicate with each other, to agree on something, to cooperate and to take permission.  Its a positive magical word .
