This is a card made with much love for my very good friend Leslie Miller (leslierich). Leslie and Rich's elder cat, Marvin passed away recently. Marvin was a very sweet, beautiful and loving cat. Marvin was different than most cats......he loved his hugs and gave his love unconditionally, especially to Leslie.
I thought the "Pun Fun" cat was "Purrrfect" for sweet Marvin! Of course, Marvin had to be in his favorite place in this card....a flower garden.
Give all your 4 legged animals a big hug today, Nancy
Adding to this weeks TLC207 challenge...cut it out! The kittie is cut out with my trusty SU paper snips.

What a beautiful card for Leslie paying tribute to her beloved Marvin -- I know she will appreciate it! OH yes, how we become attached to our animals. They truly ARE family members. Thank you, Nancy -- lovely card and thoughts!

What a lovely card and tribute to Marvin. I am sad for Leslie and Rich and know they will miss Marvin very much. Our pets become so much a part of our life. TFS

Ahh what a beautiful card. This is a lovely way to pay tribute to your friends cat, Marvin, I love that name. The charm with his initial is a really nice touch.

Fantastic card. I bet Marvin looked just as you colored him, right down to the white spots on his muzzle and stomach. I like the way you cut him out and popped him in front of the flowers. This tugs at the hearts of all of us animal lovers.

What a sweet card for your friend. I must admit, my first thought: kitty is about to dig the dirt out of those pots! All of my flower pots have flat stones covering the top of the soil in order to foil our Delilah.
