Crocodiles and Washi

It's time for me to post my project for the current Lollipop Ladies Challenge.  This fortnight the challenge is

Crocodiles . . .

with the additional challenge of washi (remember the additional part is optional, but it makes it more fun to try to incorporate it into your project).

As I don't have any images of crocodiles (and I have to admit I don't really desire one), I had to get a little creative for this one.  Do you see how I used this inspiration photo?

Well, the obvious answer is that I pulled out the yellow and blue (and the red noses) from the crocs for my color combo.  BUT . . . doesn't that embossing folder I used look kind of like crocodile skin????  I think so.  Check out the designs on the backs of the crocs in the photo.  And I've got my two little washi tape banners at the top.  Hope on over to the Lollipop Ladies blog for to see the other projects from the design team and then come play along.  We have a prize but can only give it away if 7 or more people play.  What are you waiting for?
