    Such a wonderful design Jeanne!! I’m always in awe at your colouring skills but also your ability to make such a realistic ground and sky behind your image. I’ve got to work on that. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!

    This is fabulous Jeanne. I just starting writing “I was in awe” and see Kimmie beat me too it.. I totally echo what she wrote and I have never done backgrounds before but would love to give it a try. Have a great Sunday, Hugs, Nikki x

    This is so adorable, Jeanne! Who knew dragons could be that cute!? I love your coloring! Question for you on the new challenge blog, are all the cards in the banner yours? That’s such a neat idea to make a banner with lots of cards. My wishlist is going to be so long with this release!

    Niki - Boy you are observant! Yes they are my cards on the banner. The new blog has truly been a joint effort among the team and the banner was my contribution.

    This is so stickin’ cute! I’m not always a fan of cutsie, but I am when it comes to dragons!

    My husband saw this and got a lil upset… he loves dragons.. so he made his own dragon stamps…. and well you beat him to the punch.
    I guess Im going to have to order this one for his birthday card. (hopefully he’ll get a laugh from it ;o)
