What a great way to showcase that wonderful image. I have that stamp, but with it being so large I do not do well with how to design the card. Thanks for the inspiration!! Beautifully done Sue.

This image just completely cracks me up! Seeing one mouse all covered up with a towel while the other is squirting tanning lotion out of a tube! Too funny! Great coloring, and such a fun card!!
BTW, do mice get sunburned???? :)
