Lefcort interpreted Disney characters for other special events, including the Disneyana Conventions (1999–2001).
 * Love Alli: Lefcort has diverged from her customery style for her "Love Alli" series, featuring a collection of hearts created in oil pastels. These hearts, originally produced as a gift for her mother have been reproduced in a number of limited editions including Seasons of Love, Love Always and Let Me Count the Ways.
