I can’t believe we are at the end of 2012. I hope that 2013 is a little smoother than this past year has been. I have one last project to share with you.
I made this card for my hubby’s birthday last week. I had to look at a lot of image on google in to color this guy. He looks like the one that sometimes visits my yard. He is missing the light colored speckles from his back but, to be honest, I was afraid of messing him up if I tried to add them.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a Happy New Year!
