Oddball Girl... Lucy

You must know I have a proclivity for choosing oddball images... so what is better than a place called Oddball Art to find an image that calls my name!  This little punkin' seemed to need a place to sit, dangle her legs and miss her friend - so I drew a wooden post off a pier for her to sit on... you will have to take my word that's what it is!  LOL!
Lizzy Love's "Big Eye Girl - Lucy" was provided by Oddball Art 

613 Ave C'c current challenge is to
"Create Your Own Challenge" using this fun chart created
by Kathi Silvia - what a creative lady she is!  I chose the following:
#1 Digital image & DP  #2 Die cut  #3 Glossy Accents & Dry Embossing  #4 Faux Stitching & Buttons  #5 Base card is a Square Card

Do go see what the DT has done with this challenge - fun stuff!
