Whimsy Framework is created by Natasha K. Cross over their website the Fanciful, but is available for download at WordPress right here. When I saw the theme, I thought this is a theme I have to test asap. It looked really amazing.

It is created with a clean look and feel. The design is responsive and built on a fluid grid and uses media queries. This is a theme that will look great on all devices. No matter if your visitors using a mobile phone, tablets or computer.

The theme is easy to setup and work with. Using the Customizer you can edit and customize the theme with features such as site title and tagline, choose sidebar to the left, right or full width. Colors, background images, navigation, widgets and static front page. Create a beautiful website and colorize it with your favorite colors.
