Unto Garnet Herald, Cornelian Herald, and the Aethelmearc College of Arms;
Greetings from the Heronter Heralds, a division of the Heraldic Flying

  azure."

3.  Eithne ingen Muirgen  New Name, New Device

"Papellonny vert and argent, a red vixen proper sejant guardant charged on its 
forehead with a crescent argent."

Blazon-fu: "Papellonny vert and argent, a red vixen _sejant guardant proper_, 
charged on its forehead with a crescent argent."

The tincture is the last part of the description, it should follow the 
orientation, not precede it.  The crescent is so insignificant that I didn't 
realize it was there until I read the blazon.  It's lost among the fox's 
facial features.

No conflicts found.
