Birthday Hugs

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!!!  Life has been busy and crazy and full and I am getting my post of a little late this month!  

Happy November 1st (or in this case the 4th)!!  It's time for a new challenge on the Critter Crazy Challenge blog!  As always, it is a month long challenge: Anything Goes as long as you feature a creature.  Here is my card for your inspiration:

This card came about, in part, because of the two, fun pieces of orange patterned paper.  I had used them on another card and these were the left over pieces.  They had been sitting on my desk for a couple weeks just begging to be used and I finally found a great sketch to use them on.  The bit of orange ribbon was also on my desk from a previous project and the stamp set with the lion had been on my desk for almost two years, I think!  Don't worry, it's been put away now.  So, I colored up this cutie added him to the layout and added some giant gold sequins that I have also had for years!  Man, it feels good to use older things!

Thanks for stopping by!  Hop on over to the Critter Crazy blog and check out the details and the rest of the projects from the Design Team.
