  1. Carolyn, what a cute and fun card. I love your owl and thanks for explaining the scallops around your large circle. Such a simple technique (once it is explained), makes you wonder why it never crosses one's mind. TFS

  5. Okay, this card absolutely needs a spew alert--that's the *perfect* expression on the owl's face for your sentiment, Carolyn! Very, very, very cute!

  8. Well look at him HOVERING over the branch. Now I have to sit and look at him and decide if he is taking off or landing. And then I'll have to make up a story to go with whichever I decide. But that will take some time so I think I'll finish the blog hop first.

    TOO cute!
