Great Impressions Stamps–Hurtin’ Puppy

Happy Monday!  Did you have a good weekend?   It looks like spring is finally on the way.  We had warmer (high 30’s) temps, rain and fog.  The snow is all melting away and some of the migratory birds have come back.  Hurray!  Soon it will be sandal weather!

Today is my day to post on the Great Impressions Stamps blog.  This pup caught my eye and I just had to color him up.  Look at that face!   Isn’t he sweet?

 

2013-03-11 GI Hurtin Puppy WM

 

When digging through my paper stash, these old October Afternoon papers caught my eye.  I like that the polka dots in the DP are repeated in his sling.
