Need a Hug??

"My Best Boy" provided by ADFD

 When I saw this image from A Day For Daisies [ADFD] it spoke to me... "Need a hug?"  Perfect for the the current Aud Sentiments challenge to create a "Thinking of You Type Sentiment - such as Get Well, Sympathy or for someone going thru a hard time."
ADFD is sponsoring the challenge and there are some wonderful inspiration cards created by the Design Team.  The challenge lasts thru August 12 and you can submit up to 5 images for a chance at the ADFD prize.  You can see the samples, read the rules and enter your card at Aud Sentiments!
