    Such a fab card design. A really great use of the space, giving the background as much prominence as the character. Cool! You deserve to do well in your challenges.

    Cute boy card! Creating for the men in my life is always a challenge but I have been trying to make more "guy cards" and have actually improved quite a bit through forcing myself to do it. This little guy is a delight.
